While having studied computer science at Munich University of Applied Sciences , I developed a passion for IT-security. Accordingly my master thesis deals with emulation techniques of web application honeypots.
Currently I am working at weframe AG as a Security Engineer. I am constantly enhancing the security of the Weframe One web application, such as input validation, hardening authorization or building a Content-Security-Policy. I also improved the quality, for example by introducing migrations that are easily rolled back on our test systems.
Before, I worked at jameda GmbH which is Germany’s leading platform for physician search and consultation ratings. I developed a new modern PHP7 authorization service, maintained jameda’s backend applications and worked with React on the search and profile pages.
When I came to New Zealand for a working holiday in 2017 I got the great opportunity to get to know the startup culture at Cove Insurance . I enjoyed working as a security developer on a modern Facebook Chatbot together with an agile team. Having been a backend developer before, I extended my knowledge and became a fullstack developer at Cove working with the technologies NodeJS and React. My application security skills allowed me to improve Cove's product. For example, with hardening the user management (authentication and authorization) or redesigning the payment process I achieved to offer a much safer experience both to customers and to the business.
Before, during my job as a professional Java developer at secunet Security Networks AG in Munich I was part of a scrum team developing software for the German tax return system with 5 million end-users. My tasks were extending and maintaining backend SOAP services providing security-related functionality (e.g. certificate handling, authorization, authentication, encryption) and the frontend JavaFX application ElsterAuthenticator for user certificate handling. Furthermore, I performed third level support, deployments and secure code reviews frequently there.
My internships abroad at PanthaCorp in Manly and Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton did not only teach me technical skills, but also contributed to my personal development and English skills.
I love traveling, photography, bouldering, swimming, outdoor activities, board games with friends and good & reasonable priced food.
