Summary
Stephen Agneta is an Application Security Architect with 14 years of hands-on experience designing and securing large, cloud-native financial systems. He blends deep application security and cryptography expertise with practiced DevOps skills across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, frequently coding in Java, C#, Python and Rust to harden legacy codebases and build fast vulnerability tooling. His background spans authentication and authorization systems (SAML/Kerberos, OAuth/OpenID Connect, identityserver4), SIEM and audit logging, and automating security pipelines with Terraform, Docker and Log Analytics. Stephen has repeatedly led complex migrations and framework work—moving builds to Gradle, implementing FPE from research, and integrating security into trading platforms at scale. A veteran Linux systems engineer and polyglot developer, he combines low-level systems experience (C/C++, Assembly, Perl) with modern cloud engineering and SecDevOps practices. Based in Shrewsbury, MA, he focuses on architecting auditable, high-assurance solutions for financial services and prefers remote roles (will not relocate).
