Summary
Matthew Lorimor is a Cloud Architect and security-focused engineer with 11 years of experience designing secure cloud platforms, SDLC-driven controls, and incident response programs. He began as a software developer and progressively specialized in information security, driving FedRAMP-aligned compliance work and automations that keep security from slowing development. Known for thriving in "chaos mode," he repeatedly leads cross-team initiatives, vulnerability management, and EDR/pen-test efforts while also contributing code-level fixes. At Chainguard and prior roles including Instacart, Benchling, and Workiva, he’s balanced hands-on engineering with policy translation into technical deliverables. Based in Des Moines, he brings practical experience shipping secure software at scale and an unusual comfort operating where development velocity and rigorous compliance intersect.
