Yannick Landeck

Software Engineer & PhD Researcher

DevSecOps | Security Risk Assessment | Software Architecture | Agentic AI Engineering

Open to new positions · Available from July 2026

I am a software engineer with more than ten years of practical experience, currently completing my PhD at TU Munich. My focus is on DevSecOps, container security, and security risk assessment in industrial and OT contexts. I also bring strong experience in software architecture, platform engineering, and resilient delivery of containerised and cloud-native systems. I am increasingly exploring how AI- and LLM-based methods can support security risk assessment and broader engineering processes. I enjoy working at the intersection of development, operations, security, and architecture, translating complex requirements into pragmatic, implementable solutions. Outside of work, I play snooker and enjoy hiking in the mountains.
