Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Pritchard is a Product Security Lead with two decades of IT experience who evolved from a highly regarded .NET developer into a security-focused architect and hands-on lead. He blends deep application and systems knowledge—ranging from .NET, Azure and container platforms to low-level x86 assembly—with practical product security leadership, threat modeling, secure development training and pentest orchestration. An active CTF competitor and TryHackMe content creator (Aquinas) who won TryHackMe’s Advent of Cyber in 2023, he keeps skills sharp by building tools like a Rust Super Star Trek port and enhancing security tooling such as a reverse SSH implementation. Christopher is comfortable translating compliance and risk into developer-friendly practices, running internal security exercises, and embedding security across dev and platform teams. Based in Wellington, NZ, he brings a pragmatic curiosity—he investigates emerging tech (generative AI, blockchain) not for hype but to tease out real risks and defenses.
