About

I am a TÜV-certified IT Security Officer and Manager with a Master’s degree in Automation and Power Engineering and over 3 years of hands-on experience in industrial automation, machine safety, and process optimization. My background includes working on control systems, risk analysis, and machine safety validation in manufacturing environments. This technical foundation has sparked my growing interest in industrial cybersecurity—especially in the protection of operational technology (OT) systems. I am currently expanding my expertise in cybersecurity, with a focus on securing automated and connected industrial systems. My goal is to bridge the gap between automation engineering and IT security to support the development of resilient and secure infrastructures. I bring an international perspective, having studied and worked in Germany, France, and Switzerland, and I speak English, French, and German fluently. I’m eager to contribute to interdisciplinary teams where cybersecurity, automation, and innovation meet.
