Pat Litke is a Lead Security Engineer with 13 years of experience building large-scale, data-driven security platforms and automation at companies like AppOmni and Unit 42 (Palo Alto Networks). He designs and migrates complex systems—from monolithic Python malware-analysis stacks into GKE microservices to high-performance BigQuery pipelines translating STIX into actionable queries—while owning CI/CD, packaging, and full-stack UIs. Known for pragmatic, learn-fast/fail-fast engineering, Pat pairs deep threat research roots with production-grade automation that powers researchers and incident responders. He thrives on collaboration and tooling: porting hundreds of internal libraries, creating cascading pipelines, and shipping a React-based explorer that surfaces threat context across disparate datasets. Outside work he channels problem-solving into hands-on projects (CAD, woodworking, building a garage), which often reset his thinking and spark creative technical solutions.
