Top SchoolNiall O'higgins is a seasoned infrastructure and security leader with 12 years building resilient, high-throughput systems and developer platforms from startup to scale. Currently Director of AppSec, SRE & Infra at Replit, he has previously founded and led companies focused on reliability and performance while scaling operations at Coinbase—where he grew the first SRE org, slashed blockchain onboarding times, and helped build Rosetta API adopted by multiple chains.
