Summary
Patricia T is a Senior Security Engineer with nine years of experience hardening cloud infrastructure at high-growth, mission-driven tech companies. She has shipped practical security engineering work across AWS and GCP—building pipelines for Kubernetes audit logs, writing admission controllers for identity attestation, and developing config-as-code tooling and firewall generators that reduced attacker surface and operational overhead. At Google she led insider-threat detection efforts, mentored junior engineers, and frequently represented security in external speaking and recruiting events; at Aurora she helped define secure artifact signing for autonomous vehicle OSes. She pairs deep technical craft (Go, Kubernetes, cloud-native detection pipelines) with strong cross-team consensus-building to turn policy into auditable systems. Based in Columbia, SC, she’s also pursuing acquisition entrepreneurship and passive commercial real estate investing, sharpening business acumen to scale and operate acquired ventures. Quietly entrepreneurial, she blends hands-on secure engineering with a long-term focus on building repeatable, investable businesses.
