I am involved in hardware, embedded software, protocols and security projects around the Internet of Things and consider myself a white-hat hacker. I provide Embedded Design & Hardware Security Consultancy Services around the Internet of Things.

Before that I was working as Principal Security Research Lead at ARM on advanced IoT security solutions to allow prevention, detection and remote recovery from attacks or malware infection on embedded devices, fog computing nodes and cloud services. One of my main security projects at Arm was the uVisor, a secure hypervisor that enforces hardware security boundaries between embedded software components using the ARMv7M memory protection unit on contemporary ARM Cortex M3/M4 microcontrollers.

I have over 20 years of professional experience in embedded programming, hardware development and the information security business. I enjoy breaking things, working on microcontroller security and improving IoT security.

My interests are grouped around hardware design, embedded systems, RF designs, active and passive RFID hardware development, custom-tailoring of embedded Linux hardware platforms, real time systems, IT-security, hardware & software reverse engineering and security evaluations of embedded systems:
