Hello there! I’m Mike Elissen, Senior Developer Advocate at Akamai. I’m also known by my username securitylevelup. I’m well-versed in a range of topics from security and performance to infrastructure as code, but my bread and butter is API security, Akamai Terraform Provider, and Akamai’s developer tools.
Working at Akamai in the last decade has allowed me to consult a wide range of developers on topics such as content delivery, application security, and cloud computing. Because of the level of expertise here, I’ve learned a little bit about everything, which allows me to come up with interesting solutions.
If there is anything I can do to help make your Akamai journey easier or more enjoyable, let me know!

Hi all I’m Luna working at a small tech company in the Netherlands. I love coding and also do a lot of random small CTFs. I have used Linode since last year first only for running my email server here on linode and when i knew how good the service is here i started using it for all my side projects and hosting test infra for ci/cd with gitlab and running a small minecraft server on linode. Hope to see Linode grow now that Akamai is behind linode
