Hello and welcome to my user page at OWASP.org. You'll find some details about my public work and things related to web application security here.

You can reach me at {TBD}.

"some" Security ..
It's difficult to describe my knowledge in the security world without being subjective, hence replace some by whatever your feel happy with. The official title on the v-card will be senior security consultant, which means something too.

(Short) CV
Doing software development since early '80s, used to networking all the time, focused on web application security starting this millenium. Have seen coming, have evaluated, have configured and used and have seen disappearing a lot of WAFs and web application security scanners. Currently employed at SecureNet GmbH.
