"There is always work to be done, as the field of Cyber Security is continously changing". That is what attracts me to this field, the fact that i can always learn more, while keeping the business I work for save. Why is this? Because I simply like tech. Not only to work with it, but also to understand how it functions and what I can do with it. That is why i try to stay up to date with the latest technology and Cyber Security trends. And even though I like gaming, don't ask me how many hours I have in Civilization 6..., I also like going out of the house. I go to the gym 3 times a week, and I am also in the process of obtaining my diving certification. Don't feel shy to call me if I peaked your interest! You can always contact me to collab or to simply talk.
