Summary
José Almas is a Staff Security Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently strengthening application, cloud and AI-related security at iFood in Brazil. A Computer Engineering graduate from USP with an exchange stint at Syracuse, he blends hands-on backend and systems development with applied cryptography, having built high-scale, low-latency encryption services and led a migration to quantum-safe algorithms. His background includes firmware-to-cloud cryptographic product work—HSMs, USB tokens and secure Docker image hardening—and operationalizing security via GitLab CI/CD and monitoring. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams, he brings both technical coordination experience from Kryptus and practical embedded-systems roots from student racing car projects, which hint at a knack for resilient, performance-conscious designs.
