Hi, I'm Hugo Valters
building secure infrastructure.
DevSecOps & CyberSecurity engineer with 19+ years running Linux/Windows infrastructure, hardening production systems and automating the boring parts — from central banking platforms to homelab-scale Kubernetes.
What I work with
Most recently a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Emergn. Along the way I've maintained core banking systems under strict financial regulation, hardened Linux servers against real-world attacks, and built the CI/CD pipelines that ship this very site. I write about most of it on LinkedIn.
Recent experience
Remote infrastructure engineering for a government SAP instance — Jenkins pipelines, Zabbix monitoring, Bash/PowerShell automation.
Maintained central banking systems (STIBOR, Tora, Fiona) under SFTR / MiFID II / Derivatives regulation, on-call 24/7, disaster recovery testing.
Docker/Kubernetes/Swarm clusters, Akamai Cloud Security certified, hardened Linux security with Iptables & Fail2ban.
+ 10 more roles across government, postal & enterprise IT since 2007 → full history on LinkedIn
Things I run outside the day job
A live threat-intel platform I designed, built, and run solo — real-time CVE tracking with CVSS/EPSS scoring, vendor trust ratings across the software supply chain, and infrastructure how-to guides. Currently expanding with a public API, OSINT tooling, and deeper vendor intelligence.
