Challenge

Give developers a clear view of security risks across the SDK, runtimes, nodes, bridges, wallets, and applications, including vulnerabilities that could halt chains or drain funds.

Responsibility

Led the platform end to end, from architecture and implementation to production delivery, bringing together application security and product engineering.

Solution

Built a shared workspace for vulnerability investigation, severity assessment, remediation tracking, and reusable security knowledge, with AI assistance and human review.

Outcome

Helped teams detect and address vulnerabilities across Polkadot and Kusama, including chain-halting and fund-draining risks, with roughly $2.1B in network value at risk.

Engineering decisionsD-01

One security workspace

Brought security findings and reusable vulnerability knowledge together across Parity's software stack so teams could investigate issues in context.

AI with human judgment

Used AI-assisted investigation to support finding review, with human approval over conclusions and outgoing communications.

Actionable findings

Focused on reproducible issues and remediation context so developers could move from investigation to fixes.
