Alexander Neumann is a Security Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience securing mobile and telecom systems, currently building classified mobile solutions and certified MDM/EMM enrollments at Samsung in the Cologne/Bonn region. His background spans deep carrier-grade network security (RAN, LTE/3G/2G, small cells, inflight networks) and operational security disciplines including Common Criteria, embedded secure elements, and SecOps guidance aligned with BSI standards. He pairs this domain expertise with practical build-system and automation skills demonstrated by meaningful contributions to high-profile open-source projects like CMake and Microsoft's vcpkg, improving cross-platform builds and dependency handling. Known for bridging low-level telecom security requirements with developer tooling, he brings both protocol-level security experience and a developer's eye for reproducible builds. He holds an MSc in Applied IT-Security and a Diplom in Electrical Engineering, reflecting a strong academic foundation that complements his long tenure in operational and product security.
