Torin Warwick is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and leading teams focused on secure, scalable cloud-native systems and policy-driven infrastructure. He rose through hands-on roles in networking and performance engineering (C/C++, Python, Scala) to VP-level open source leadership at Styra, where he drove adoption and stewardship of Open Policy Agent across the ecosystem. Now at Apple, he combines product-minded management with deep operational security instincts—evident from contributions to the popular open-policy-agent/contrib repo that improved build automation, PAM error handling, and microservice authorization examples. Torin blends low-level systems expertise from telecom and virtualization products with a talent for making complex distributed systems auditable and maintainable. Based in Vancouver, he brings a pragmatic, automation-first approach to engineering process and platform reliability.
