Teppei Fukuda is an OSS-focused security engineer with 11 years of experience building and hardening cloud-native tooling from Dubai, currently contributing at Aqua Security and Recruit Technologies. He is a core creator of Trivy and an active contributor to high-profile projects like go-containerregistry and dockle, blending backend Go development with DevOps and vulnerability database engineering. Teppei’s work spans vulnerability scanning, container registry integrations, and CLI tooling—often improving performance with concurrency and refining infrastructure and packaging for Debian. He combines academic grounding from the University of Tokyo with practical security operations, shipping features that touch logging, dependency management, and SBOM/vulnerability sources. Notably, he routinely surfaces non-obvious reliability fixes (e.g., token/manifest edge cases and lazy image saving) that reduce production surprises for users.
