Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Mavrakis is a security engineer and architect with 11 years of experience helping organizations shift security left and ship secure software, currently shaping security engineering at Apple from the San Francisco Bay Area. He moved from hands-on penetration testing and red team engagements to partnering with developers on threat modeling, code reviews, DevSecOps and secure IaC, and has driven tooling evaluations and security champion programs at scale. His background spans startups to enterprise—implementing Terraform for AWS security, automating audit checks that cut manual effort in half, and improving passive network fingerprinting for ICS with ML research. Equally comfortable in the homelab tinkering world, he brings practical, engineer-friendly solutions and a pilot’s curiosity—building multi-VLAN deployments and racing drones—that inform his pragmatic approach to reducing developer friction while raising security.
