About

Hands-on experience

With knowledge of automotive engineering, design, and manufacturing processes I bring a strong technical background to my work, which includes extensive experience with laboratory test equipment and vehicle penetration testing.

Certified

As CISSP, I am also experienced in compliance activities and able to identify overlaps and key differences of IT and the automotive management systems. My primary area of focus currently lies within the domain of risk management, threat analysis and risk assessment activities (TARA).

Life-long learning

I always take a proactive approach to cybersecurity, staying up-to-date with the latest technologies, trends, standards and regulations. I am dedicated to building a culture of excellence and continuous improvement, and I am always seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and expertise. My enthusiasm for continuous learning enables me to identify and develop innovative solutions that provide lasting value to organizations.

Quality and communication

Whether working on complex vehicle cybersecurity projects or broader cybersecurity compliance related initiatives, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality results that make a positive impact. My experience in inter-departmental collaboration paired with my main personal traits of creativity and commitment enables me to work effectively with cross-functional teams, building strong partnerships that deliver high-value to all stakeholders. I am also passionate about making a positive impact on people and organizations through my work, and I take pride in identifying areas for improvement and addressing them.

Hobbies

In my personal time, I enjoy pursuing a variety of hobbies that keep me engaged and intellectually curious. One area of particular interest is open-source intelligence (OSINT), which I find fascinating for its ability to reveal insights and connections that might otherwise remain hidden. Another favorite hobby of mine is motorbike camping, which allows me to combine my love of the outdoors and my fondness with big American V-Twin engines with my passion for exploring new places. By staying engaged with the world around me and exploring new perspectives, I am able to bring fresh insights to my work, making me a more effective and well-rounded professional and I believe that pursuing diverse interests and hobbies is an essential part of personal and professional growth.
