Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTony Gauda is a seasoned security and risk architect who currently serves as VP and Chief Architect of Security, Fraud, and Risk at Intuit, bringing over two decades of hands-on experience building high-scale, compliant systems. He has founded and led multiple startups (Bitcasa, ThinAir, Grail) where he pioneered kernel-level data protections, convergent encryption, and real-time data “flight recorder” approaches that earned patents and industry recognition. Tony combines enterprise banking fraud expertise from MasterCard with modern cloud and device-management experience from roles at Fleet and Modern Products, regularly solving millisecond-latency scoring and large-scale streaming challenges. He holds roots in early SaaS and adaptive learning products and is active in community impact as Board Chairman of Hack the Hood. Based in Atlanta, he blends founder-level technical depth with executive architecture stewardship, often translating complex compliance needs (HIPAA, PCI, SOC2, ITAR/EAR) into resilient product designs. An under-the-radar strength is his knack for inventing practical cryptographic and kernel solutions that make novel security concepts production-ready.
