Summary
Matthew Copperwaite is a Product Security Engineer with 15 years’ experience delivering large-scale, cloud-first cyber capabilities across government and media sectors. He combines hands-on engineering in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Terraform, Ansible and AWS with pragmatic DevOps and IaC practices to build secure, scalable platforms and developer-friendly tooling. Matthew has led multi-disciplinary teams to introduce Agile, DevSecOps and secrets management at scale, and he frames security as a communication and behavioural challenge as much as a technical one. A published author on Python and an advocate for empathetic, inclusive security, he focuses on long-term compliance through guardrails that engineers actually want to use. Based in London, he has driven forensic, data-science and automation initiatives that reduced fraud and operational overhead while modernising legacy estates.
