Senior administrator, security architect, and penetration tester with a decade of experience hardening critical infrastructure and building resilient systems from the ground up.
Born and raised in the Austrian Alps, I spent over a decade in the trenches of offensive and defensive security — from red-teaming to architecting zero-trust infrastructure for government.
My background bridges the gap between raw systems engineering and application security. I write code that breaks code, and build systems designed to withstand the attacks I devise for others.
When not chasing flags or writing exploits, I create or test enterprise-grade infrastructure and open source projects in my homelab.
A smartphone application using a custom-trained neural network to detect and announce traffic signs, pedestrian crossings, and traffic lights in real time — giving visually impaired people independent, safe navigation of road environments.
Participated multiple years in the Austrian Cybersecurity Challenge, a national CTF competition. Achieved top 25 placements in 2018, demonstrating strong skills in cryptography, privilege escalation, web exploitation, and reverse engineering against a variety of challenges, qualifying me for the Center of Excellence from Cybersecurity Austria through that.
