About Me
I am Dmytro Vorotyntsev – a Cybersecurity Architect and strategist with over 18 years of experience in the IT industry. Since 2018, my career has been defined by the intersection of high-scale engineering and proactive security, building resilient infrastructure for global platforms and leading security-centric teams.
I specialize in high-assurance environments where security is the primary business enabler. My approach combines an engineering-first mindset with a strategic understanding of GRC, driving a Shift-Left philosophy that integrates security and compliance directly into the development lifecycle. Whether scaling security for a crypto platform serving 100+ million users or navigating complex NIST-based certifications, I focus on transforming security from a final hurdle into a foundational architectural component.
My Professional Journey
The Engineering Foundation
Built and led high-performing Platform and DevOps teams, focusing on automation, infrastructure-as-code, and system reliability at scale.
DevSecOps at Global Scale
Led the transition to security-first engineering for a crypto wallet platform with 100M+ users. Managed DDoS protection, access control, and multi-cloud security.
Cybersecurity Architect & Lead
Managed high-assurance engineering and ISO 27001/27701 audits. Secured a NIST 800-53 certification for Ukraine’s government – from architecture to execution.
Academic Specialization
Currently completing a Master’s Dissertation in Cybersecurity, researching LLMs for Continuous Compliance to bridge the gap between static policy and real-time enforcement.
The CISO Path & CISSP
Finalizing CISSP certification and evolving into executive security leadership to bridge the gap between technical defense and corporate strategy.
My Mission
Trust is the foundation. While technology is the tool, I believe that trust – between teams, systems, and stakeholders – is what truly enables security at scale. My mission is to make the complex world of security accessible and manageable for everyone.
Key focus areas
Combination of engineering experience and executive-level strategic thinking.
AI-Powered Continuous Compliance
Researching how LLMs can automate real-time evidence gathering and policy enforcement, moving beyond "point-in-time" audits.
Developer-Centric Shift-Left
Empowering engineering teams with automated security guardrails and AI-assisted remediation, making security a natural part of the CI/CD pipeline.
Security Strategy & Leadership
Translating technical cyber risks into clear business logic for executive stakeholders.
