About

I am contributing to make Bewatec ConnectedCare an even more secure solution. Currently, I work very technically on IT security, e.g. hardening cloud systems, conducting internal pentests. With a (bi-national) PhD in computer science and 10+ years working experience in research, industry und International organisations (IARC/WHO in Lyon, France), I have profound knowledge in the field of secure distributed systems. All experience were in multicultural and mostly trilingual (de, en, fr) environments.
