Senior🎓
Top SchoolJesse Lesperance is a Senior SSDLC Specialist and tech leader with 11 years of focused experience in cloud, application security, DevOps, and compliance, now based in San Jose. He has a track record of building security teams and programs from the ground up—establishing departments, achieving PCI and SOC2 compliance, and hardening Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines at fast-moving companies. Known for hands-on technical depth, Jesse leads white-hat hacking initiatives, implements zero-trust models, and builds custom tooling that cut incident response times by roughly 30%. He blends strategic leadership with day-to-day engineering, mentoring engineers while driving measurable reductions in supply-chain and privilege exposure. His background spans startups to large enterprises (Evernote, eBay, Hilton) and includes practical Ops experience (SaltStack, Terraform, Istio) that informs pragmatic security architecture. Colleagues often note his polymathic curiosity—able to move from board-level compliance discussions to code-level remediation without missing a beat.
