Hi, I’m Michael.
I started my B.Sc. in Computer Science at Technische Universität München (TUM) in 2013 and graduated in 2016 (B.Sc.) and 2019 (M.Sc.). From 2014 to 2016 I worked at research institute as research assistant and got my hands dirty with Android security and the development of a vulnerability scanner for Android applications. From 2016 to 2026 I was doing penetration testing, social engineering, red teaming, physical security and lots of fun stuff for an IT security consultancy in Munich. I’m a Certified Red Team Operator (CRTO) and generally like to hang out on conferences. Sometimes I also give talks.
Since 2026 I work as IT security expert for a startup.
My main interest is IT security, but I also write code from time to time - mainly Go, sometimes Python, but I’m profound in Java, too.
Apart from spending time with computers, I mostly fly FPV drones or am experiencing adventures with my friends and colleagues. At some point, I think it was a CCC congress a few years back, I discovered my fancy for doors and locks, so it is quite common to see me pulling out a bunch of weird tools when searching for my power plug at the bottom of my backpack.
As I said, I try to go to several conferences, mostly Europe based, each year. If you want to say “Hi” and have a beer or Club Mate with me, just get in touch! I’m usually there for meeting and making friends instead of talks I can also watch on Youtube 2 weeks later :-)
