About Tom Coney
I’m a Senior Software Engineering Manager and CISSP-certified security leader with deep experience in early-stage startups and healthcare. I build and grow engineering teams, connect technology to business outcomes, and operate like an owner, not just an engineer.I believe success comes from doing whatever work is necessary until specific goals are achieved. Tackling meaningful problems means taking on big challenges, and for those it’s critical to use your team’s strengths well and work collaboratively. I’m results-driven with a bias for action, and I keep going until it works.I also love dogs, and we both really love cheeseburgers. It’s been a good day if I learned something new or tried something different. It’s been a great day if I’ve given more than I received and offered more than I’ve taken.

Defined clear roles and career paths that became the template for future teams, balancing just-enough process with rapid delivery, strong culture, and leadership development.• Elevated the company’s security posture by enforcing strict access controls (RBAC), leading regular penetration tests, managing application and API security (encryption, tokenization, MFA), and executing cross-departmental CISO duties (CISSP-certified).• Positioned engineering as a strategic partner rather than a support function by acting as an ambassador for technology, fostering a high-performance, high-trust culture, and serving as a key liaison with Sales, Operations, Network, and Marketing to turn abstract challenges into intuitive, user-friendly products.
