Robin is a consultant and ethical hacker leading and executing penetration testing, red & purple teaming, and security research projects for various clients, aiming to identify their cyber vulnerabilities and mitigate their risks. He contributed to improving the security of several companies, such as Deutsche Telekom, BMC Software, and Pydio, by uncovering and reporting multiple 0-day vulnerabilities.
He recently got interest in quantum computing security, being involved in the DEF CON Quantum Village. His classic background allows him to demistify quantum computing from a “classic hacker” point of view rather than a specialised researcher.
