Bio
Who am I?
I’m a Security Engineer at a global digital privacy company, where I’ve spent the last few years building security programs from the ground up.
What do I do?
I’ve been in software and security since 2017, and I specialize in transforming chaos into scalable, privacy-respecting operations.
What do I care about?
I care about security that doesn’t get in the way, privacy that isn’t just checking boxes, and systems that survive audits without making anyone miserable.
Why am I speaking?
Because I wish someone had told me earlier that it’s possible to start with security without getting intimidated or to continue on this path without burning out. Or burning bridges.
What is my least favorite one direction?
South. I don’t like it when things go south.
Was that joke necessary?
The best jokes (like security incidents) show up when you least expect them. Deal with it 😉
