Patrick Lynch

Patrick is an accomplished technologist with a strong foundation in ethical hacking, a passion for software development, and a career built on bridging the worlds of security and engineering. He began his journey with a degree in Ethical Hacking, gaining hands-on experience in cyber security principles and real-world problem-solving.

During university, he secured an internship with a major national logistics company, where he contributed to both internal security operations and customer-facing penetration testing services. This opportunity led to a full-time role, where Patrick quickly distinguished himself. Within months, he was invited to help establish and build a brand-new Security Operations Centre (SOC), deepening his expertise in both strategic and technical understanding of security operations.

His career evolved into leadership roles, where he took pride in developing high-performing teams and mentoring others. As a founding member of SecureAck, Patrick’s passion for software development led him to take on leadership of the development team, where he focused on building tools that solved real-world security problems. This blend of security expertise and development experience has remained central to his career ever since.

Building the Future of Security with AI

Now as Head of Software Development at CybaVerse, Patrick plays a key role in shaping the future of the company’s technology and product direction. He is particularly focused on the growth and innovation of CybaVerse AI, the company’s flagship platform, which is designed to make smart, accessible security solutions available to organisations of all sizes.

Patrick envisions a future where AI is seamlessly integrated into security workflows, improving how organisations protect themselves and transforming how internal teams work, collaborate, and innovate. His ambition is to help CybaVerse lead the charge in delivering practical, intelligent solutions grounded in the realities of today’s threat landscape.

Team Leader and Culture Shaper

A firm believer in open communication and inclusive thinking, Patrick champions a team culture where every voice is heard and ideas are challenged constructively. He encourages a learning-by-doing approach, where individuals are empowered to explore, experiment, and grow, even if that means diving into the unknown. For Patrick, good leadership means enabling others to push boundaries, grounded in a philosophy of trust, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

Personal Life

When he’s not developing cutting-edge solutions or leading his team, Patrick can usually be found hiking the Scottish hills with his wife and their dog, Maggi. A keen hillwalker, programmer, and photographer, he enjoys combining the outdoors with creativity and is always looking for new ways to learn and explore, both professionally and personally.
