Emre Sakarya
Senior security engineer specializing in static analysis engine development and secure software architecture. Background spans the defense industry and a decade of startup engineering.
Emre Sakarya is a senior security engineer at SecureCodingHub, focused on the deep engineering side of application security. His training combines statistics, cyber law, and an MBA — a foundation he uses to bridge the gap between technical security work and the organizational decisions that determine whether security programs actually ship.
Emre's technical specialization is static application security testing (SAST). He has spent years on engine internals — taint analysis, source-to-sink propagation, language-specific parsers, and the false-positive reduction techniques that determine whether a scanner flags a real bug or wastes a developer's afternoon. His earlier work in the defense industry built deep familiarity with security-critical software architectures and code review at scale.
Across a decade of startup engineering, Emre has shipped security tooling and developer-facing platforms, balancing the precision the domain demands against the velocity startup engineering needs. At SecureCodingHub he writes on SAST/DAST/IAST tooling tradeoffs, secure software architecture, code review at scale, and the engineering decisions behind security tools that developers actually adopt rather than route around.
