I'm a systems architect deeply interested in building high-quality products you _know_ you can trust.In my first job as an OT technician, I loved how disciplines came together: Electronics, mechanics, programming, and robotics - like Lego, using building blocks to create something new. After my studies in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I worked for three years in research of HW/SW co-design for IoT systems. Since 2011, I have been in the defense security industry, first as a firmware engineer and later as a lead systems architect. I was responsible for a framework that formed the foundation of various security products: 100G link encryption, VPN, VoIP, and secure radio communication. I was also part of a team that developed a secure notebook for governmental agencies, including a new operating system for highly classified information. In 2018 I co-founded Gapfruit to bring academic security research to real-world products. I still love to create.
