About

I am an Automotive Cybersecurity Professional with over 4 years of hands-on experience in securing modern vehicles and embedded systems. My expertise lies in identifying vulnerabilities in automotive components, communication protocols, and IoT systems to ensure the safety and integrity of connected vehicles. I specialize in penetration testing and threat analysis & risk assessment for automotive systems, including ECUs, and external interfaces. My understanding of E/E architecture and automotive-specific protocols allows me to uncover and address critical security gaps. I also have practical experience in hardware-level security assessments using low-level communication protocols, and fault injection techniques.
