About Me

Hello! I'm Florian, an IT Security specialist and Full-Stack developer based in Vienna, Austria. I'm currently completing my Bachelor's degree in IT Security at FH St. Pölten, with an expected graduation in June 2025.

With experience in penetration testing, secure application development, and a strong foundation in various programming languages, I'm passionate about creating robust and secure software solutions. My background includes work in healthcare (as a certified paramedic), which has instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail - critical qualities in the cybersecurity field.

When I'm not securing applications or writing code, you can find me exploring music production, cooking, or practicing speedcubing.
