About Me
Approaching 10 years of experience as a system, network and information security professional both as a consultant and in internal security/IT teams, I have been able to develop a variety of skills that allow me to support companies in many different ways. As such, I am able to deal with advanced technical topics, such as vulnerability and patch management (penetration testing, Red Teaming, firewall configuration review, code review, ...), IAM, network and software architecture or security strategy & governance.

I am industry agnostic and have experience working with a large panel of different clients and employers, such as, not exhaustively, financial services, manufacturing, retail, luxury goods or NGOs/NPOs.

My main assets are my technical background and constant curiosity, shouldered by my organization and motivation. I am also methodical, ideas-driven and love to receive and share knowledge through trainings, security events or simply around coffee or drinks.
