He leads DevOps teams at ottonova, owning AWS multi-account strategy, Terraform-driven infrastructure and GitLab build management while steering the ISMS and regulatory initiatives like DORA. As a co-founder of Crashtest Security he built an automated OWASP-focused pentesting product that integrates directly into developer workflows, reflecting his long-standing passion for offensive security since university. Janosch combines hands-on engineering—contributions to widely used open-source projects like DefectDojo and the Terraform Vault provider—with product and people leadership.

His rare mix of product-building, open-source security tooling work and formal ISMS ownership makes him effective at closing the gap between development velocity and operational security.
