Summary
Vitalii Trofymenko is a Principal Software Engineer and startup founder based in Lisbon with a strong background in backend and full‑stack development, cloud-native architectures, and application security. Over the past several years he has led teams to build and scale microservices on Kubernetes, migrated enterprise systems to serverless AWS, and developed custom SAST tooling and IDE extensions to detect IaC and supply‑chain vulnerabilities. He combines hands‑on coding (Node.js, Python, Go), infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), and CI/CD automation to deliver resilient, observable platforms. Notably, he scaled an AppSec OS from MVP to commercial release and has practical experience shaping developer-facing security tools. His blend of startup founding experience and enterprise security projects gives him a pragmatic, product-focused engineering lens.
