Summary
David Passarelli is a Principal Consultant and Technical Authority with nine years of focused experience in DevSecOps, Agile coaching, and secure software delivery, complemented by a long history of hands-on engineering. He helps organizations modernize legacy systems and improve security posture—recent wins include replacing a decade-old Excel reporting tool with an Electron app that cut support calls 90% and building Node.js APIs to accelerate ERP rollouts. David pairs practical automation (IaC, ARM templates, PowerShell) and test-first engineering (TDD, BDD) with outcomes-driven roadmaps that align technical debt remediation to product vision. He’s equally comfortable teaching at scale—designing bootcamps and courses that enabled hundreds of engineers and drove “shift-left” testing adoption at global firms. A pragmatic engineer who values simplicity and correct naming, he also contributes to ISC2 exam development, staying current with security literature and industry best practices. Based in New Jersey, he blends delivery-focused execution with a coach’s mindset to make teams faster, safer, and more autonomous.
