Summary

👤
Senior
🎓
Top School
Owen Ekhator is a Lead Security Engineer based in Dallas with eight years of hands-on experience building secure, cloud-native infrastructure and full-stack applications. He specializes in secrets management, Terraform, and HashiCorp Vault—currently leading the Secrets Management platform at DTCC after architecting Vault, Terraform Enterprise, and self-service deployment portals at GM Financial. Comfortable across the stack, Owen pairs React/Node front-ends and databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis with CI/CD and security tooling (Checkov, Sentinel, Black Duck) to make deployments auditable and compliant. His background in testing and Ops automation gives him a practical focus on reliability and measurable security controls rather than theoretical frameworks. A former customer-support and QA analyst, he brings user empathy and rigorous QA discipline to security engineering, making complex platforms easier and safer for teams to use.
