Summary
William Getz is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience who blends full-stack development (.NET, NodeJS, Angular) with hands-on application security practice across startups and enterprises. He has built security tooling (a JS GitHub dependency auditor and a VS Code SAST extension), led security champion programs, and institutionalized practices like a mandatory "Security Check" in the development workflow. Comfortable in AWS and DevOps tooling, he translates pen-test findings into pragmatic remediation timelines aligned with NIST and regulatory needs. William actively teaches threat modeling and uses OWASP Juice Shop in onboarding to give engineers attacker-perspective experience, and he frequently represents engineering in cross-department security coordination. He pairs practical engineering (CI/CD, Terraform/CloudFormation, Secrets Manager) with an uncommon focus on developer education to reduce real-world risk.
