CV

Developer · Cybersecurity · Digital nomad

10 years in IT, curious about everything — I touch a bit of everything and I'm not afraid to admit it. I build full-stack web apps (yes, including this website), explore cybersecurity, and leverage modern AI-assisted coding to ship real products faster. Currently pursuing a Swiss Federal Diploma in Cybersecurity (expected November 2027). Developer by trade, nomad and adventurer at heart.
