Who am I?
ConseiL
Security Analyst and Full Stack Developer
Full-Stack Engineer
Hey there! I'm Jan, a cybersecurity enthusiast and fullstack developer based in Germany. I specialize in building secure, cutting-edge web applications using React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, Rust, and implementing security best practices for almost 6 years
Right now i am fully focused on Cyber Security and found my passion in securing Systems and keeping the bad guys out.
The Journey
My journey began at 14 with simple HTML and CSS. After taking computer science in school and loving it, I discovered my passion for automation when I needed to write a Python script using Selenium for repetitive database work. That sparked my love for scripting, leading me deep into web scraping and automation projects.
I studied Wirtschaftsinformatik and started as a Systems Engineer while growing my full-stack skills on the side. After learning backend languages like Java and diving into systems programming with Rust, I transitioned to Software Development, spending two years debugging and fixing code at proALPHA. Though I'd enjoyed CTFs and security courses at university, the field felt overwhelming—until I had time to fully commit. Now as a SOC Security Analyst, I'm living my passion, something I never thought possible!
Beyond Code
When I'm not hunting bugs or hardening systems, you'll find me on my bike—I'm a former national track cyclist and still ride whenever possible. Long hikes and walks with my dog keep me grounded, giving me time to think through complex problems away from the screen.
Music fuels my creativity, and I love playing guitar myself. While I listen to anything with an overdriven guitar, my heart belongs to METAL 🤘. There's something about the technical precision and raw energy that resonates with both the analytical and passionate sides of my personality.
