I joined STT in 2019 and have learned quite a lot about cybersecurity with the team. I was a regular player when I was in my Master's and even participated in the CSAW Finals back in 2021. I play mostly PWN and reverse engineering challenges. Currently, I only play CTFs occasionally with them during part of my free time, but I am still able to enjoy it a lot.

Guitar Playing

I am a big fan of music and had learned guitar at school. I was part of the school covers' band for 4 years playing guitar and sometimes bass and I was also part of the school choir, playing guitar for 3 years. After I left high school I continued practicing, however not so regularly. I mostly enjoy playing rock/metal music due to their complexity, sound and to my personal music taste.🤘

Mountain Biking

I also like some addrenaline and since I was very little that I enjoyed riding my bicycle. I usually ride once a week after work or on weekends as it is quite fun to go off-road on rough terrain specially with friends. I am only an amateur and never really got into any kind of competitive event.
