Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Gilliard is a Cloud Security Consultant with nine years of software engineering experience, currently focused on designing AWS security policies and implementing cloud infrastructure with Terraform. He combines practical cloud-native expertise—self-hosted Kubernetes clusters, Go backends, and CI/CD—with hands-on security work from his bachelor thesis on migrating and hardening applications in Kubernetes. Comfortable across the stack, Daniel has built production systems with RabbitMQ, OpenSearch migrations, and VMware vSphere automation using Kubespray. An open-source advocate and problem-solver, he tutors distributed systems and brings teaching experience to complex architectural decisions. Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, he pairs academic study (including international exchange in Taiwan) with pragmatic delivery in both startup and enterprise contexts. Notably, he blends developer instincts with security stewardship, making infrastructure repeatable, auditable, and production-ready.
