Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Baldes is a Senior Security Engineer based in Zurich with two decades of software engineering experience and a recent focus on SASE and cybersecurity. He has a strong background in backend systems and integrations, having built payment, POS, and financial-regulatory applications with Java, Spring, and enterprise databases while operating CI/CD pipelines and container platforms. Daniel blends hands-on engineering and 24/7 operational support—debugging network protocols and running third-level NOC duties at scale—so he understands both secure design and real-world incident response. His career spans Swiss fintech and remote-work platforms, and he now brings that domain knowledge to security engineering at Open Systems. Known for “coding for fun an profit,” he pairs pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for tooling and automation that often surfaces in cross-disciplinary projects.
