Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Melven is a Senior Application Security Engineer with 14+ years of hands-on experience building and leading product security programs across startups and established firms, currently at Huntress in Portland. He blends deep offensive security skills—reverse engineering, mobile and application assessments—with pragmatic program leadership, having run security teams at HackerOne, New Relic, and Community.com. Known as a fast adapter, Ian gets from 0 to productive in unfamiliar codebases quickly and relishes deep technical dives to find high-impact vulnerabilities. He pairs broad software engineering experience (from Adobe and Mozilla to ad-tech and cloud monitoring) with a specialist’s focus on practical, ship-ready security. Active in the local security community (longtime OWASP Portland leader) and advising early-stage companies, he balances strategic thinking with execution and an obsession for daily improvement. A curious generalist who prefers breaking things to prove they’re fixed, he brings both offensive craft and cross-organizational influence to complex security challenges.
