Senior🎓
Top SchoolRick S is a security engineering leader with nine years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud, secrets, and AI security at scale across enterprises and startups. Currently leading a small team at Electronic Arts, he built production Vault clusters, automated multi-cloud IAM/RBAC and network isolation, and drove AI AppSec work including prompt-fuzzing and Bedrock-based non-human identity detections integrated into Splunk. His background spans automotive PKI at GM, large-scale cloud and M&A security at Verizon, and founding a HIPAA-ready dental practice where he fused security, compliance and business analytics to boost patient conversions. Known as a security evangelist and blogger ("Security Sandman"), he combines practitioner-level architecture with entrepreneurial grit and a taste for unconventional paths—he left school early and later earned advanced management and cybersecurity training at Kelley. Practical, data-driven, and comfortable with both pen-tests and production ML model hardening, he focuses on measurable risk reduction and automated, scalable controls.
