Senior🎓
Top SchoolGert Leenders is an Enterprise SecDevOps Lead with 12+ years of hands-on experience transitioning organizations to AWS and building cloud-native, secure infrastructure. Originally a Java specialist active in the Devoxx community, he has evolved into a polyglot practitioner who switches between Java, Python, Go and Rust while championing GitOps, immutable infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code. He blends architecture, security, microservices, containers and resilience engineering to deliver robust, serverless-first solutions at scale. A frequent organizer and community contributor (Co-founder of Element7, co-organizer of ServerlessDays Belgium and long-time Devoxx program committee member), he pairs practical ops skills—Ansible, Packer, Docker—with strategic cloud transformation experience. Notably, he has run his own consultancies and led migrations from on‑prem to AWS, demonstrating both entrepreneurial drive and production-proven delivery.
