Summary
Günter Kits is a seasoned DevSecOps practitioner and hacker with 13+ years building and defending large-scale Linux container and infrastructure systems from Tallinn. He blends hands-on systems architecture, automation and incident response with leadership experience—most notably as Technical Team Lead for NATO CCDCOE’s Locked Shields exercise and as a DevOps engineer at Perforce and SK ID Solutions. As Resident Hacker and community co-lead at Tulika Töökoda he pairs cypherpunk sensibilities with pragmatic engineering principles (YAGNI, KISS, CrystalClearMethodology) to keep complex agents predictable and bounded. Comfortable from low-level server builds to coordinating 30-person blue teams, he’s equally at home writing automation, designing DTAP workflows, or hardening production environments. An unstated strength: he treats verification and constraints as first-class features, turning risky autonomy into auditable, repeatable operations.
