About Me

Hi, my name is Tobias. I'm 23 years old and am currently working full time as a Security Consultant delivering penetration testing services. I have experience testing web applications and external infrastructure. Recently I obtained my OSCP qualification and will soon begin conducting internal infrastructure work for clients.

I'm hard working, dedicated and focused, my manager during my placement year described my work ethic as "exceptional". I've always had a passion for technology. When I was 5-years-old, I bought a trampoline with my parents' eBay account (I didn't get to keep it). I've known since starting high school that I wanted a career that had strong ties to technology.

In my spare time I enjoy working through CTFs and writing up walkthroughs to help others. I also have a passion for programming and will often create applications designed to help me with mundane tasks, such as my PriceScraper application which notifies me about price changes for video games.

Although my passion is technology, I also have a strong interest in economics and business. I keep up-to-date with the stock market and follow the news regularly to stay informed with what's happening around the world.

My hobbies include gaming, watching films, working out and hanging out with my friends and family. I'm passionate about F1 (Mercedes), I watch on average about 85%+ of the races at their air time across a season, including the early morning races. I will occasionally play golf and have an interest in football, supporting my home team Norwich City.
