Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Gossmeyer is a Senior DevSecOps Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience hardening cloud-native infrastructure and securing software supply chains across energy, healthcare, and hyperscale clients. He blends deep operational expertise—Kubernetes, Vault, Consul, container slimming and runtime enforcement—with offensive security experience from penetration testing and private bug bounties. A community builder and conference founder, he co-created Co-Laboratory, the Irregulars, and Root 66 and helps run local groups like OKC Lugnuts, Infragard, and OKCSec. Currently supporting hyperscale customers at VAST Data while leading container security efforts at VulnFree, he operates at the intersection of performance, scale, and compliance. Outside work he’s an eccentric organizer and self-described “journeyman mage,” reflecting a curiosity-driven approach to systems, hardware reclamation, and unconventional roles such as his philosophical work at Wall’s Life Foundation. His background ranges from board-level electronics repair to enterprise SIEM and incident response, giving him a rare full-stack view of real-world security.
