About me
Adam Schaal is a Distinguished Engineer at Pixee, where he focuses on using generative AI and automation to meaningfully change how application security is practiced at scale.
Previously, Adam created and led the SHINE team at AWS, a group tasked with rethinking how security could scale across massive development organizations without slowing builders down. Through experimentation, automation, and hands-on engineering, SHINE explored new approaches to aligning security with real-world development workflows.
Adam has spent his career on both sides of building and breaking systems and is an active member of the global security community. He is a frequent international speaker and remains deeply interested in security systems designed not around the traditional SDLC, but for how software will be built next.
