Description

As a doctoral candidate in network technology (TUM), I bridge the gap between IT research and implementation. With my focus on network security (like Zero Trust), edge computing, agentic workflows & cloud architectures, I also represent TUM at the Coalition of Secure AI (CoSAI). My experience as Lead Architect in building our own SaaS platform has taught me how to design complex infrastructures to be not only secure but also developer-friendly.

My Focus Areas:

Security & Compliance: Building future-proof Zero Trust architectures (including on non-US/EU infrastructure) and consulting on network security.
Agentic AI Workflows: From design to security, especially through Zero Trust approaches.
Performance & Availability: Optimizing networks, CDNs, and API infrastructures for maximum speed and resilience.
Architecture & Consulting: Auditing existing systems, technology selection, and guiding DevSecOps processes.

Through my role as Architecture Lead in building an AI-powered API platform and several years of enterprise experience, I possess a deep understanding of modern software and cloud architectures in addition to my pure network expertise. This allows me to seamlessly integrate infrastructure and security concepts into existing development cycles. As part of my research activities, I have also managed several research projects with industry partners.
