Summary
Evan Schwalb is a Senior Security Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building security programs, tooling, and secure software lifecycles across defense, finance, and enterprise industries. He has designed PKI and 2FA infrastructures, automated large-scale compliance and vulnerability scans for 16,000+ devices, and led SAST, continuous pen testing, and secure code review initiatives that hardened production systems. Evan blends offensive and defensive expertise—from reverse engineering and exploit development to deploying SIEM, HIDS, and vulnerability management—while mentoring junior engineers in practical security techniques. He has delivered mission-critical software for aerospace platforms and bank-grade application security, consistently translating complex requirements into auditable, repeatable controls. Based in San Diego, he enjoys collaborating on novel tooling and building security from the ground up, often saving teams significant time and cost through automation. One less obvious strength is his track record of converting offensive findings into long-term program wins that directly influenced contract success and organizational security posture.
