Life in the Swimlane with Kevin Mata, Director of Cloud Operations and Automation

Here we will feature interviews with Swimlaners to learn more about their experience.
This series will give you a preview of Swimlane, our culture, and the people who keep us going.
I was born and raised in San Diego and still currently live here.
I went to school at California State University San Marcos, where I received my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science.
I then worked as a Software Developer at a fortune 500 company for a few years and ended up finding my love for cybersecurity during one of their programs and shortly came over to Swimlane.
As the Director of Cloud Operations / Automation at Swimlane I'm in charge of automating our Security Operation Center.
I also help run our Security Operations Center team and make sure our cloud environments are secure.
A few other things that I'm responsible for include but are not limited to Vulnerability and Patch Management, Third Party Risk, and many others.
Overall, working with our internal teams to make sure we release a secure product to our customers.
I love the culture here at Swimlane and I can't forget about all the talented people that work here.
I've also met some life long friends at this company and I'm forever grateful.
I enjoy being able to work with all different teams whether it is engineering, product, customer experience or most importantly working with some of our customers.
When I'm not working you can find me at concerts or enjoying the outdoors.
I just recently got into biking and have been having a great time exercising and enjoying going on bike rides every weekend.
My love for house and techno music and going to music festivals.
Music at these types of events brings everyone together and it's so healing and therapeutic.
Always be Leveling Up - I previously came from a more corporate company and I eventually got bored / stagnant of doing the same things.
Working at a startup, processes and technologies are changing quickly and one needs to be able to adapt to change but overall it makes everyone better.
Life in the Swimlane Swimlane is a rapidly growing, innovative startup in the Denver metro area with a passionate team focused on improving the lives of security practitioners through security automation and orchestration.
We're always looking for dedicated, ambitious problem solvers who thrive in a fast-paced work environment to join our team.
