About Me

Kalle Sirkesalo

I am the Field CTO at Eficode. For over a decade, I've been guiding organizations through the sometimes stormy waters of modern software development. My focus lies in integrating AI-powered tools, implementing robust DevSecOps practices, and building stable Platform Engineering foundations.

From scaling CI/CD in highly regulated industries to managing complex GitHub Enterprise environments, I help clients turn ambitious business goals into scalable, secure technology roadmaps. I am passionate about responsible AI adoption—ensuring transitions result in controlled efficiency rather than chaos.

When not charting technical strategies, you can find me sailing—a pursuit that perfectly mirrors my professional commitment to precision, strategy, and adaptability to changing conditions.

I frequently share insights at industry events and webinars on DevOps governance, AI, and platform engineering.
