So, you’re a pentester?

Yes, I’m currently working as a Penetration Tester for SwissPost. As a pentester, I’ve helped numerous organizations strengthen their defenses against cyber threats. However, I believe that true risk assessment requires more than just identifying vulnerabilities — it demands a deeper understanding of an organization’s overall security posture. That’s the reason I also like to learn and apply Red Teaming techniques, which provide a more comprehensive and realistic view of an organization’s risk exposure.

Although I tend to gravitate to the offensive side of security, I aspire to explore the blue side of things. For the time being, my main goal is to build a well-rounded perspective on information security operations.

That means you hack stuff, right?

Yes.

Can you hack my girlfriend’s Instagram account?

No.

Apart from hacking, I have multiple other interests:

  • Hacking the body 💪 - I exercise daily to keep my body healthy and functional. Mostly calisthenics.
  • Hacking the mind 🧠 - I have a bit of an ADHD brain, so now and again I’ll take some time to meditate and practice my mindfulness.
  • Hacking my behavior 💡 - I’ve developed important habits and routines that keep me productive and effective.
  • Hacking my diet 🍴 - I’ve created low calorie recipes that are delicious and satiating. No need to be hungry on a diet. Maybe I’ll post some of them here.
  • Hacking people 👥 - I have worked in sales and I like to learn about the principles of influence. I am interested in understanding what moves people, how to make friends and make better negotiations.
  • Hacking the planet 🌍
