About

Professional Background

With a strong technical foundation in automotive engineering, design, and manufacturing processes, I bring extensive experience with laboratory test equipment and vehicle penetration testing to my work. As a CISSP-certified professional, I specialize in compliance activities, risk management, threat analysis (TARA), and identifying overlaps between IT and automotive management systems.

Approach to Work

I take a proactive approach to cybersecurity by staying updated with the latest technologies and trends. My commitment to continuous learning enables me to develop innovative solutions that provide lasting value. I deliver high-quality results through effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Personal Interests

In my free time, I enjoy open-source intelligence (OSINT) for its ability to uncover hidden insights and motorbike camping as it combines my love for exploration with big American V-Twin engines. These diverse interests help me bring fresh perspectives to my work.
