Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVincent Thiery is a Senior Information Security Engineer based in Switzerland with nine years of experience blending deep quantitative training and hands-on security and reliability work. He moved from quantitative roles at UBS into software and site reliability engineering before leading security as CISO at startups and now advancing security at Camunda. His background in mathematical physics and applied mathematics informs a methodical, metrics-driven approach to security engineering and algorithmic problem solving. An active open-source contributor, he has implemented optimized C++ algorithms and expanded region-aware calendaring logic in Go, showing both low-level performance focus and practical backend craftsmanship. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic security lead who bridges rigorous analysis with production-grade implementation.
