Summary
William Kategianes is a Cyber Security Specialist and software engineer with eight years of experience building full-stack web applications and applying security principles across cloud and API-driven environments. He combines hands-on skills in JavaScript/React, Python/Django, Node.js, and databases (MongoDB, SQL/PostgreSQL) with practical experience deploying and integrating services on AWS, Heroku, and via OAuth2.0. A General Assembly Software Engineering fellow and St. Petersburg College graduate, he moves comfortably between volunteer civic-tech projects at Hack for LA and defense-focused work at the Defense Technical Information Center. Known for translating complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, he’s equally comfortable writing secure backend logic as he is optimizing user-facing interfaces. He’s a lifelong learner who augments formal training with real-world consulting and volunteer work, bringing a pragmatic, security-minded approach to building reliable, user-centered systems.
