Summary
Christopher Williamson is a security-focused software engineer with ~12–15 years bridging development, operations, and security across public and private sectors. He has led security engineering and SDL approval efforts at Microsoft, architected threat-intel and SIEM integrations, and now applies that depth to platform-scale engineering at Google while contributing to the SANS GIAC Advisory Board. Christopher combines hands-on systems work (Python, PowerShell, Splunk, Azure, Red Hat) with product-level thinking to turn security requirements into auditable, automated workflows and ML-driven process improvements. His background spans federal labs and enterprise, giving him practical experience in vulnerability management, incident response, and cloud-native telemetry pipelines. A Virginia Tech MS graduate and multiple security and systems certifications holder, he has a knack for aligning executive risk priorities with engineering realities. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic automation that reduces toil while raising the security bar.
