Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Karpathakis is a Cyber Security Engineer III based in Charlotte with 11 years of IT experience and a Computer Science degree from UNC Charlotte. He specializes in database and web application security, having architected large-scale Imperva deployments across 3,500+ databases and driven cloud migrations and security automation that improved backup efficiency by 900%. Stephen blends hands-on incident response and malware remediation from freelance web work with enterprise-grade controls, compliance alignment (PCI, NIST, CIS), and custom SIEM/dashboarding in Splunk and Kibana. A promoted technical lead, he mentors junior engineers and coordinates cross-functional cloud security projects, particularly around AWS IAM, CloudTrail, and data protection. He’s equally comfortable scripting automation with Bash/AWS CLI as he is tuning WAFs and hardening WordPress sites, bringing both breadth across infrastructure and a pragmatic focus on measurable security outcomes.
