68. From Netflix to Startup CEO: Travis McPeak Is Redesigning Security for Developers
About this episode
What if security wasn’t something developers had to think about at all? That’s the vision Travis McPeak—former Netflix and Databricks security leader—is building at Resourcely. In this episode, he breaks down why most security tools fail, how trust between security and engineering got broken, and what it really takes to fix cloud misconfigurations before they hit production. Travis also shares what compliance is getting wrong, why developer experience is non-negotiable, and what he learned going from big tech to startup CEO.
