Get in touch

Hi! I'm Christian, an Engineer by degree with a Master in Computer Science from KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. I am an IT Security Specialist, Conference Speaker, Full Stack Developer, academic, teacher, online-course author among many other things.

I work primarily with Enterprise-level Security Architecture and InfoSec-related tasks such as access controls, identity and access management, as well as performing audits and risk analyses and ensuring compliance. I also support developers in building secure web apps and sysadmins in safer operations.

Before focusing on security, I was a Full Stack Developer and DevOps enthusiast. As a developer I've worked extensively with both Docker and Kubernetes and have experience with several frameworks and technologies such as Node.js, React, .NET Core and Laravel. Finally I can code in C#, Java, Python, PHP, JavaScript and C++ among other languages.

Whether you're building a new PKI-based authentication solution in for your hybrid cloud or benchmarking a sensitive web platform for on-prem, you've got my interest.

Feel free to reach out, I'd love to have a chat.

As I learn new things, I tend write tons of notes and so I created a docs site to have a central notebook. Feel free to check it out!

Master Thesis

Container Orchestration in Security Demanding Environments at the Swedish Police Authority

During my last semester as a student I wrote my master thesis the field of IT Security in Cloud Computing. The thesis is directed towards enterprises which have high demands on IT Security typically found in finance and banking, the public sector as well as cloud vendors and providers. My master thesis "Container Orchestration in Security Demanding Environments at the Swedish Police Authority" provides guidance in how a container orchestrated platform could be implemented in a manner that improve system isolation by considering risks of container escape and network propagated attacks. Finally this is achieved while respecting the benefits of containerized environments. Feel free to read it. It is available through open access.

Ludu

An online course platform to inspire and accelerate learning in the modern era

This is a project which later turned into a startup that I am very proud of. Ludu is an MOOC e-learning platform and community which aims to erase the difference between student and teacher. My contributions have mostly been in the backend and infrastructure. I have through this platform published courses in Linear Algebra as well as Probability Theory and Statistics both in written in Swedish.

Tindhair

Tindhair is a mobile application which allows you to quickly find you a new hairstyle. It's build with React Native and Redux. It is connected to a Node.js REST API. I built this app while taking a course in interaction design at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology.
