What I am all about
I am a computer security researcher and proven expert in the field of mobile banking and fintech security. I do freelance work in information security: from design and conception to implementation and execution. Mainly, I've been working as a mobile security consultant for popular German banks, fintechs and car manufacturers as well as their suppliers. I've worked for companies throughout the EU and also the US, though.
Prior, I have been a research fellow and PhD candidate at the IT Security Infrastructures Lab in the Computer Science Department of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg. I'm still associated to the lab. Before I started to work as a freelancer full-time, I served as Chief Information Security Officer for an Allianz company.
In 2022, I co-founded YAXI, a fintech which reimagines how companies implement access to bank accounts of their users. Through its unique confidential computing approach, YAXI allows regulation-free access to regulated bank APIs without ever seeing sensitive data.
My work receives broad coverage in the media and quality press making me a well-received speaker and panelist. In 2021, I have been recognized as 40 under 40 of Capital magazine.
