👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristo Goosen is a DevSecOps leader and founder with 11 years of experience securing cloud-native systems for startups and large enterprises, currently leading DevSecOps at Utility Warehouse to protect over a million UK customers. He blends hands-on engineering in Python, Golang and TypeScript with deep infosec expertise—from pentesting and appsec to Kubernetes, cloud security across AWS/GCP/Azure, and vulnerability management. As director of a cybersecurity and AI/ML consultancy and an OWASP Cape Town leader, he pushes DevSecOps culture, internal tooling and bug bounty programs at scale. His MSc research applied machine learning to anomaly detection in Linux syscalls, a thread that informs his work on AI product security and RAG/genAI applications. He’s an organizer in the South African infosec community (BSides Cape Town) and an MTN App of the Year winner, combining hacker curiosity with practical compliance and audit experience. Expect a pragmatic, security-first operator who moves between strategy and code to harden platforms and ship reliable services.
