I’m a software engineer specialized in design and development of security systems.

During the years of my software engineering experience I have worked (and continue working) on wide range of different challenging tasks – embedded software design and engineering, OS application development, GUI development, Web programming, Browser programming, BIOS programming, integrating software development processes…

Last three years I have been specializing in design and engineering of security software solutions and dealing with problems of software security. The beautiful thing in this area is the human factor. Security is tightly connected with human factor and its most challenging part is designing systems by knowing that many smart and bright people will try to break it…

In this blog I’m trying to provide my thoughts about security engineering and share my experience with other people.
