I am a cybersecurity consultant dedicated to building resilience in the technologies that power our modern world. My unique expertise lies at the intersection of deep electrical engineering knowledge and advanced information security principles. This allows me to address security challenges not just from a software perspective, but from the silicon level up, through connected devices, and into complex cyber-physical systems like modern vehicles.
My mission is to help organizations design, build, and deploy secure and compliant products in some of the most demanding and critical environments.
My Expertise: Bridging the Hardware-Software Divide
I provide specialized consulting services across three interconnected domains:
🚗 Automotive Cybersecurity Navigating the complex landscape of UN R155/156 regulations and ISO/SAE 21434 compliance. I help clients implement robust Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS), perform Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA), and secure vehicle architectures (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) from the ground up.
📶 IoT & Embedded Systems Security Securing the vast world of connected devices. My work spans from hardware security modules (HSM) and secure boot processes on microcontrollers to vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of firmware and wireless protocols.
⚡ Semiconductor Security Applying a deep understanding of electronics engineering to hardware-level security. This includes analyzing potential side-channel attacks, fault injection, and ensuring secure manufacturing and provisioning processes for chips that will be deployed in critical systems.
My Journey: From Silicon to Systems
My career has been driven by a passion for understanding how things work at their most fundamental level and then securing them.
- My foundation is in hardware: My Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics gave me the core understanding of circuits and systems. My Master of Science in Electrical Engineering allowed me to dive deeper into the design and physics of the devices that form the bedrock of all technology.
- I specialized in security: I pursued a Master of Science in Information Systems Security to layer advanced cybersecurity expertise onto my hardware knowledge. This unique combination is crucial for tackling modern threats that often exploit the gap between physical hardware and logical software.
- I apply it to real-world problems: I have direct experience addressing the nuanced security challenges in the automotive, IoT, and semiconductor industries. I understand the entire product lifecycle, from concept and design through manufacturing and decommissioning.
This journey enables me to offer a holistic perspective that pure software security experts or hardware engineers alone cannot.
