Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabian Lim is a Principal Engineer specializing in cloud security with over a decade of experience translating complex risk into practical, developer-friendly controls. He has driven organization-wide standards and automation at scale—publishing a Container Security Standard and building secure-by-default Terraform modules that turned ad-hoc pipelines into consistent, auditable platforms. His expertise spans threat modeling, CI/CD security, multi-account AWS architectures, and operationalizing CSPM and scanning tools so security becomes part of the developer workflow rather than a gate. Notably, he designed runbooks and automation for M&A account onboarding, root credential management, and just-in-time IAM access that materially reduced human blast radius across large AWS estates. Based in Houston with roots in Singapore and a master’s from Carnegie Mellon, Fabian combines policy-level insight with hands-on engineering to help organizations move fast without compromising safety. Outside work he teaches Krav Maga, reflecting a practical, disciplined approach to risk and resilience.
