Summary
Jubba Smail is a Senior Security Engineer and founder with 11 years of experience securing cloud-native infrastructures, payment systems, and large-scale web platforms across Europe. He has led Zero Trust, Vault-based secret management, and bank-grade hardening projects while reducing source-code vulnerabilities by 95% through a custom Git application and developer-focused security initiatives. Jubba blends hands-on DevSecOps work—Kubernetes upgrades, automated CI/CD security pipelines, and incident response—with policy-level coordination across Legal, Compliance and Business teams to ensure GDPR and audit readiness. He built a Dutch Payment Integrity system for iDeal 2.0 and has deep experience migrating organizations from on-prem to multi-cloud environments while automating configurations. Known for turning “black screen” complexity into pragmatic, auditable controls, he’s equally comfortable writing automation as designing organizational access matrices that adapt to HR systems. Based in the Randstad, he combines academic training in cyber security with entrepreneurial drive reflected in his recent founding of OVRLab.
