Nir Adler is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, secure cloud-native applications and IoT prototypes from Israel. He blends full-stack JavaScript expertise with strong infrastructure and security chops—leading multi-region AWS deployments, Kubernetes orchestration, Terraform IaC, and SOC2-aligned hardening across enterprise integrations. At Palo Alto Networks (via Bridgecrew) and Snappy Gifts he drove DevOps, authentication, CI/CD and penetration-testing efforts while contributing Kubernetes security checks to the popular open-source Checkov project. Comfortable from hardware prototyping to production APIs, he’s equally at home designing secure networks and authoring OpenAPI specs as he is optimizing Dockerized services. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he often surfaces subtle security misconfigurations before they reach production.
