Senior🎓
Top SchoolKadir Ekşi is a Senior DevSecOps Engineer based in the Netherlands with eight years of experience blending software engineering, cloud security, and secure CI/CD design across companies from Pixar to ASML. He has led threat research and application security efforts, building hardened pipelines and integrating security into the SDLC while mentoring cross-functional teams to remediate real-world risks. At Pixar he combined secure Python development with Kubernetes threat modeling, and later scaled those practices to cloud-focused research roles at PRODAFT and enterprise security at getirfinans. Comfortable both in hands-on engineering and strategic security architecture, he brings a filmmaker’s eye for detail—having produced over 200 videos and directed 3D and sci‑fi pieces—which surfaces in his meticulous code reviews and creative threat modeling. Known for translating complex threats into practical, auditable controls, he excels at making security both robust and operationally seamless.
