Gerben van de Wiel

Gerben is a Principal Security Consultant at YieldDD, with a deep-rooted curiosity for how software works, from the highest abstraction layers down to the bare metal. His background spans low-level programming, reverse engineering, and system internals, giving him rare insight into the underlying behavior of complex codebases.

Over the years, he has honed his skills across a range of technologies and industries, including roles at Sogeti and Betabit. Before joining YieldDD, he was part of a blockchain start-up, further expanding his knowledge in decentralized systems and cryptographic principles.

At YieldDD, Gerben applies his technical depth to assess complex software architectures and security practices. His comprehensive understanding of code-level behavior and hands-on experience in reverse engineering make him particularly effective in evaluating security practices, identifying vulnerabilities and threats, advising on practical mitigation strategies, and providing security training.
