Experiences

Driving application security and compliance initiatives and projects for a large European Bank.

Splitting my time between four key areas: assisting in application security governance, implementing security capabilities that enable developers to apply SSDLC, responding to security incidents and maintaining developer platforms and infrastructure on a 24/7 on-call structure.

Managed IT infrastructure and e-commerce platform for Madomorpho, a Berlin based fashion brand.

Web development, cloud infrastructure, high-traffic management and cybersecurity.

Identify and calculate tax deduction opportunities.

Building and maintaining the website. Working mainly with PHP and Wordpress.

Calculate coordinates on top of an SVG quickly. Built this tool to save hours of trail and error when building an interactive map.

A map card component for Vue that offers a simple way to display a location on a map using a address query or coordinates. The component is built with Vue 3, TypeScript and OpenStreetMap!

Generate deterministic visual patterns based on text-based input in real-time. Rothko-js was inspired by the graphic illustration that accompanied the earlier OpenAI blogs and, of course, Mark Rothko.

The tool can be used to generate graphical art for blogs, using the blog's title for example.

Open-source authentication scheme that lets you authenticate to services in a usable, secure and decentralized manner without relying on a third party (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter) service. SSASy leverages the public key cryptography concept and the WebCrypto library, to offer a challenge-response ritual for non-technical (read non-expert) cryptography stakeholders - whether it is a developer, service provider or an end-user.

My first year was spent learning cryptographic concepts, networks, IT infrastructures and applied security in a technical manner.

The second year was more academic; I worked on risk management, information security trends, incident handling & response and tried to figure out what I was going to write for my thesis.

Worked on streamlining developer experiences during a summer internship. Projects ranged from speeding up a data processing flow to mitigating suspicious external library imports in code bases. Managed to improved my python skills and learnt more about Docker and Kubernetes.
