In June 2013 I have joined Swisscom AG as a Junior IT Auditor in the Group Internal Audit. I assist my team in performing IT Audits of all subsidiaries of the Swisscom group, including Swisscom (Schweiz) AG (Fixnet & Mobile), Swisscom IT Services and Fastweb.

In July 2011 I joined Ernst & Young IT Risk & Assurance where I performed IT-Audits of international and national banks in Switzerland and Liechtenstein for two busy seasons. Additionally, I regulary performed on-site and remote Risk Assessments of vendors in the financial industry. Further, I supported the Service Organisation Controls Reporting team located  in Bern with ISAE3402 audits of Swiss IT providers. My special area of focus included consulting companies on Security, Web, Open Source Software and Social Media.

On March 23rd 2011 I graduated from University of Bern with a MA in History. My master thesis "Missernte 1916/17 in der Schweiz" highlighted the impact of both bad weather conditions and war time import restrictions on Swiss agriculture.

Aside of studying, I used to work in several IT positions ranging from Linux Sysadmin, IT support to Web Developer. As a freelancer, I'm creating web sites and web applications since 1998.

For over 4 years I was a member of the City Council (governmental executive) of my hometown Neuenegg where I was responsible for the departments Finances and Public Transportation.

I've grown up and lived in Neuenegg from 1986 until 2012. I recently have relocated to the city of Bern, where I am living with my girlfriend Stephanie.
