Summary
Samuel Berger is an application security engineer based in San Diego with nine years of experience and six years focused on cyber and application security. He designs and integrates AppSec tooling across the SDLC—SAST, DAST, SCA, vulnerability scanning, and pen-testing—embedding checks into CI/CD pipelines and MR workflows to shift security left. Samuel has applied RMF and threat modeling practices in regulated environments, created ATO packages for classified networks, and translated SAST findings into actionable developer guidance at scale. Comfortable bridging technical and non-technical stakeholders, he pairs hands-on tool implementation (Snyk, Tenable, Burp, Fortify, SonarQube) with process documentation to improve developer remediation. A pragmatic problem-solver, he brings experience from both defense and commercial teams, enabling repeatable, auditable security practices in fast-moving DevOps contexts.
