Adam Selby

Approachable security professional with a hands-on, adversary mindset and a proven track record of identifying critical security flaws. Recently returned from an extended travelling sabbatical, during which I tried to turn my hobbies into a living. I am now back in Berlin, highly motivated, and ready to contribute to the cybersecurity world once again.
