Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Valk is a founder-CEO and security-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience building tooling and services that help ethical hackers outsmart criminal adversaries. He leads Codean, creating a Security Review Environment that streamlines and automates mundane analysis tasks—think an IDE purpose-built for security analysts—and supplies it to thousands of practitioners worldwide while offering consultancy. His background spans hands-on penetration testing and research roles at Riscure, Northwave and Toys for Bob, grounded in an MSc in Computer Security from Radboud University. Known for a pragmatic "Done is Better Than Perfect" approach, he blends product-building with deep technical analysis to increase the velocity and accuracy of security teams. An interesting detail: he’s turned the operational pain points of security reviews into a scalable platform, effectively professionalizing workflows many analysts still do with generic developer tools.
