Having a degree in computer science and two decades of experience in the tech industry, I have had the privilege of working on projects that shape IT security. My journey began at the German firewall company Genua, where I led the creation of the IT security management platform genucenter. Later I joined Graylog where I further contributed to innovative solutions in Security, diving into log management and data analysis. Besides this, my passion for software in the context of networking and security led me to contribute to OpenBSD, a security-focused open-source Unix-like operating system.
