Summary
Sergio Sebastián is a Tokyo-based Director of Security & IT with 15 years of experience uniting engineering, security, and product delivery across scale-up fintech environments. At Moneytree he has progressed from core engineer to director-level roles, leading SRE, API, data and professional services teams while driving ISO 27001 initiatives and pragmatic reductions in operational complexity. He blends hands-on technical chops (serverless microservices, AWS, performance tuning) with security-first leadership—socializing security culture, enabling internal teams, and managing risks before incidents occur. A lifelong tinkerer since age eight, he channels curiosity into CTFs, open source, trading bots, and technical content, pairing creative problem-solving with psychological-safety-minded team building. He also advises startups and mentors engineers, bringing a broad perspective that connects technical architecture to product, business strategy, and societal impact.
