Piotr Sionkowski is a Principal Security Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging software engineering, DevOps and application security across enterprise environments. Currently at Akamai, he has led secure CI/CD, SAST/SCA adoption, and developer-facing security programs at companies including GSK, Dun & Bradstreet and Egnyte. He combines low-level Linux and embedded systems roots with modern cloud and automation practices, scripting in Python, Groovy and Bash to build scalable security tooling and integrate security into the SDLC.
