Hi, so you are interested in me. Thank you.
My university education
MA in linguistics + additional studies in computer science, media science, legal studies and psychology.
Me and information security
As many kids at a certain age, I was being intrigued by criminology, but not tempted by tricksters. Parallel to my studies, I started working at various companies related to information security. As I was able to speak reasonably to customers (somebody has to do the job), typical areas were sales national, sales international, project management international. I got more and more involved and started my own company for information security services. I still enjoy that.
Why OWASP?
Cooperation and sharing knowledge is the key element of OWASP as well as mine.
What else?
I am not seeking any moral high ground. I recommend the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which includes article 17 - property. http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html
