Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBennet Becker is a Computer Science Specialist based in Dresden with nine years of experience securing and maintaining research IT environments. At the Max Planck Institute he introduced modern security practices—like 2FA for SSH/IMAP, BYOD-aware network protections, and streamlined remote account provisioning—while also handling web service maintenance. Though he self-describes as an IT expert who avoids being a “software engineer by title,” his open-source contributions to Nextcloud demonstrate pragmatic backend coding chops, particularly around email headers and server-side logic. His background in systems integration and a diploma from TU Dresden give him a strong blend of academic rigor and hands-on operational expertise, making him adept at turning complex security requirements into practical, auditable solutions.
