Me.^500 Julius Figge.

My name is Julius Figge, and I am currently pursuing my PhD in the field of cyber security and computer science.
As a doctoral student at 'Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation GmbH' I conduct research in 'formal verification of security properties of complex software architectures during the development process'. The doctorate itself takes place at Leipzig University.
Before that I worked as the CISO at "klose brothers GmbH" in Bielefeld, Germany. Prior to this position, I worked there full-time as a Software Engineer while pursuing my Master in 'Cyber Security and Digital Forensics' (M.Eng.).
I likewise studied my bachelor as a dual study of 'Applied Computer Science' (B.Sc.) at the FHDW in Paderborn, during work for klose brothers.
At a later stage, I resumed my relationship with the FHDW. I took up a teaching position in the form of an honorary lectureship. This fulfilled my goal of becoming a lecturer at a university before my 25th birthday.

IT-Security and Software Craftsmanship are my passion.
My drive is to do what makes me happy for a living.

Sharing.^500 Knowledge and Expertise.

If you did not know already, I am writing my own blog.
The blog does predominantly focus on cyber security, hacking, coding, computer science and related themes.
There will also be occasional articles about my personal projects, cybersecurity related discoveries and -vulnerabilities. I am also documenting my journey of continuous learning and work.
There is no set release schedule, but there is an RSS-feed you can subscribe to.
