About

Specialized into translate "Information Security" and "DevSecOps" for business english! I've been a tech nerd for ages, starting as a lowly System Admin and working my way up to AI guru (kinda) and DevSecOps evangelist. I've done it all: from keeping the lights on to building super-secure, AI-powered stuff. I'm the guy who bridges the gap between 'coders' and 'security ninjas,' making sure our tech is both awesome and safe. I'm currently on a mission to spread the DevSecOps gospel and unleash the power of AI across the organization. Think of me as a tech superhero, but without the cape (and maybe with a slightly higher caffeine intake). Trying to build some awesome stuff, one line of code (and one security patch) at a time.
