I'm a mobile security expert, software engineer and product-minded technologist from Germany.
I've been working with software and mobile technology for many years, with a particular interest in the places where security, privacy, usability and engineering meet.
These days, a lot of my curiosity is directed at AI-assisted and agentic software development: what it enables, where it fails, and what happens to software engineering when writing code is no longer the difficult part.
- 🔐 Mobile security, application security & privacy
- 📱 Apple platforms, iOS and the wider mobile ecosystem
- 🤖 LLMs, coding agents & agentic software development
- 🛠️ Self-hosting, automation & small useful tools
- 🕵️ GrapheneOS and privacy-friendly technology
- 🧑💻 Software architecture & engineering practices
- 🏠 Home Assistant and making computers do things for me
I like technology that is understandable, dependable and useful. I prefer small systems over unnecessary complexity, open standards over lock-in, and evidence over hype.
I still write code, although increasingly I find myself thinking about systems, products, security and how we build software rather than any particular programming language.
Outside of work, I'm a father, cyclist, Magic: The Gathering player and occasional tinkerer with far too many computers.
Since 2017, I've also been talking about technology on a podcast and writing about things that interest me on my website.
