Free Wortley

Currently working on the 'AI Security' team, originally on ProdSec/AppSec.

• Hardened Snowflake infrastructure and various data pipelines/vendors
• Rolled out Smokescreen (HTTP Egress Proxy) to help reduce model exfiltration risk
• Security requirements + infrastructure for AI/ML model training + inference
• Reduced org-wide toil of patching CVEs via onboarding new vendor (Socket.dev)

Spent many years building a VC-backed startup in the security space.

• Built a few products, raised some money ($1.7mm), and learned a lot along the way
• Supply Chain Security, Data Security, and Low-Code, Heroku-like platform using AWS
• Hired a team of 6+ people, ran sales, marketing, and engineering
• Our work was featured in TechCrunch, Wired, and other outlets
• Code on GitHub: https://github.com/lunasec-io

Left to start my own company when we got into YC. Helped with a few projects:

• Helped build a "secrets management" platform for the organization
• Worked on the GCP-to-AWS migration
• Lead the effort to implement an eng-wide review ("RFC") process

I joined as an early member of the engineering team and worked across several different teams as Uber experienced hypergrowth.

• Built "secure by default" web framework for engineers (full-stack Node/React)
• Scaled out the AppSec reviews to 'Let Builders Build' and ship faster
• Security automation platform to detect sketchy code (like Semgrep/CodeQL)
• Created an org-wide security training program for engineers
• Built "uber.com" from the ground up (working directly under CEO)

Built a desktop app using C# and WPF to generate flight plans for drones.

Joined pre-funding, and Airware went on to raise $120m.

Worked my butt off, raised $ from VCs, and learned how billion dollar startups are built.
