I'm a cybersecurity enthusiast, like to solve challenges and always keep the big picture in mind from a technology and business perspective. Currently I'm responsible for the technology field Cybersecurity, identifying new and innovative ideas, technologies, and businesses for Siemens in factory automation. This has a broad scope targeting all the different abstraction layers.In my spare time I support students in the context of the "Gründungsgarage" (early academic startup accelerator) with great startup ideas in realizing their ideas by acting as a sparing partner and supporting them in solving their technical challenges. I enjoyed a broad security related education throughout my whole studies at Graz University of Technology. Especially during my PhD studies I gained insights to national and pan-European projetcs on the topics of eID, eGovernment, security in cloud computing/mobile computing/edge computing as an individual contributor but also leading a local team and acting as a work package leader.
