I'm a Security Advisor at itm8, dedicated to protecting information, systems, and people from evolving threats.
I work towards a safer tomorrow
A few paragraphs about me
With over a decade of technical expertise and a solid commitment to security and privacy, I focus on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical infrastructure. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Software Development, a Master’s degree in Computer Science specialising in information security, and a PhD in Computer Science from the IT University of Copenhagen. My research focused on optimising data movement and offloading functionality to hardware. This work led to significant advancements in modern experimental data systems, including creating Delilah — the first storage device to run eBPF.
Beyond academia, I’ve accumulated diverse experience working with a dozen companies and taking on various roles across multiple industries. My entrepreneurial spirit also led me to establish my first company at 16.
Driven by a passion for creating a safer digital society, I am committed to defending data against emerging threats and safeguarding privacy in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
