Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Sturm is a Senior Software Security Engineer based in Seattle with a long track record of building security tooling and programs across consumer and cloud platforms. He combines deep hands-on engineering—developing static/dynamic analysis pipelines, attack-surface databases, and secrets-detection automation—with program-level work such as Secure Development Lifecycle design, OSS policy, and enterprise GitHub governance. At Microsoft and Convoy he led scalable security automation and incident responses (including Log4J and CI breaches), and at AWS and as an independent consultant he continues to advise on secure integrations and risk baselining. Nicholas is comfortable shipping code, designing developer-facing security infrastructure, and driving cross-team remediation for complex, multi-party issues. His Github motto, "freedom to create," reflects a pragmatic approach: enabling developer velocity while enforcing measurable guardrails. A Northeastern-trained computer engineer, he pairs embedded-systems roots with modern cloud security practice, which often shows up in tooling that bridges build systems, telemetry, and developer workflows.
