Engineering leader turning security into a delivery accelerator at GitLab.

Michael Wildpaner leads security engineering at GitLab. He focuses on embedding safety checks early in the development process, challenging the old assumption that secure code means slow deployment.

Instead of treating security as a final hurdle, Michael helps teams integrate automated checks directly into CI/CD pipelines. He teaches engineers how shifting left turns security from a traditional roadblock into a true accelerator for shipping better software.
