Senior🎓
Top SchoolDevin Kinch is a Senior Application Security Engineer with 14 years of experience securing cloud-native SaaS and enterprise systems, currently focused on application and infrastructure protection at Caseware in Burnaby, BC. He combines deep offensive research skills—evidenced by vulnerability discovery and exploit work such as contributions to the MouseJack exploit project—with practical DevSecOps delivery, including AWS firewall rules and CI/CD-integrated security tooling. Across roles at Sophos, Zenefits, Hootsuite and others he has built fuzzing frameworks, semgrep signatures, serverless security controls, and automated scanning that reduced whole classes of bugs from production. Devin pairs hands-on penetration and incident response experience with architecture-level thinking, producing network diagrams, security policies, and onboarding docs to communicate risk effectively. Certified across GIAC, AWS and Cisco tracks, he bridges networking, cloud and application security in ways that help teams move fast without breaking things. A background in network engineering gives him an uncommon ability to trace problems from low-level protocols up through application logic.
