Skills
Summary
I have 20+ years of experience in developing and managing information systems. My focus has been on Unix-based server architectures and application delivery through the Internet. At Marketo, I was responsible for the availability and performance of the main Marketo SaaS application and the migration of that application from on-prem to public cloud. Prior to Marketo, I was a Director of SRE at Google and the CTO at Qualys. Earlier in my career, I held a variety of technical positions at a number of startups and established companies, EDS, MCI, and IBM. I received my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science from the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. In my CTO role, I had frequent speaking engagements at security events and forums including Black Hat, RSA Conference, InfoSecurity UK, and The Open Group. I used to blog at the Laws of Vulnerabilities site - http://laws.qualys.com Specialties: Internet service design, server architecture, high availability systems, performance, and security architecture and implementation https://www.advisorycloud.com/profile/Wolfgang-Kandek
