Summary
Christopher Reynolds is an Application Security Engineer with 14 years of full-stack web development experience, now focused on building and operationalizing application security programs and shift-left testing across CI/CD pipelines. He blends hands-on engineering—JavaScript, Node, React, Golang, Python, Docker, and cloud deployments—with pragmatic security work such as SAST/DAST/SCA integration, threat modeling, and cryptographic configuration reviews. Christopher has a track record of shepherding features from UX and frontend implementation to secure production services, and has led small teams and developer training (CTFs, secure coding workshops) to raise organizational security maturity. He’s comfortable modernizing legacy architectures while preserving business continuity, and has applied his CMS and e-commerce experience to high-volume customer-facing systems. Based in Commerce, Texas, he pairs disciplined project execution with clear communication between product, engineering, and security stakeholders. A self-starter since freelancing in 2011, he brings both entrepreneurial initiative and a steady operational mindset to shipping secure, maintainable software.
