Martin's passion for information technology was ignited at the age of 13. This was triggered when his parents deleted one of his favorite games from the family computer. Driven by the goal to gain a comprehensive understanding of the computer system and the associated programming languages to restore the game, Martin from then on dedicated every free minute to studying computer literature in the library and practically applying what he learned on the computer.

This deep dive into the world of IT quickly piqued his interest in IT security. Already at the age of 14, he began to inform Swiss companies about security vulnerabilities he identified. He also identified critical vulnerabilities in globally used software products and worked with the manufacturers to develop solutions. Consequently, Martin deepened his knowledge through extensive further education in the fields of IT security engineering and security analyses.

In addition to his personal commitment in the field of computer security, he brings a solid professional education as a computer scientist, complemented by various industry-recognized certificates and a Master's degree in information security. After gaining several years of experience as a security engineer, analyst, and consultant, he specialized as an expert in the security of applications and infrastructures. He has now been fulfilling this role with expertise and dedication for over twelve years.
