Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Rasmussen is a Principal Architect in cyber security with 17 years of experience aligning business goals to technical outcomes across finance, government, health and broadcasting sectors. He has led large, complex programs—including NZ projects and a $25M broadcast network delivery—and driven organisational certification efforts such as ISO27001 and PCI-DSS Level 1. A hands-on technologist, Scott blends software and infrastructure expertise (C/C++, Python, Rust, Docker/Kubernetes, Azure/AWS) with pragmatic security practices like Zero Trust and automated change management. He has designed quantitative risk methods and built dev processes that scaled a medical start-up to public listing, and he routinely translates technical tradeoffs for C-suite and non-technical stakeholders. Equally comfortable as a lead architect and contractor, he also champions migrations from legacy stacks to containerisation and has a niche background designing ML-enabled operations research products. Based in Wellington, he is an experienced diver off-hours and brings a practical, audit-ready mindset to secure, scalable engineering.
