Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeonhard Kurthen is a Senior Consultant and software engineer based in Munich with 11 years' experience specializing in backend development and technical IT security. He combines low-level programming skills (C, C++, assembler) and higher-level languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, Dart) to deliver firmware, robotics (ROS) and backend systems while also performing vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. His consulting work spans hands-on technical testing (web, network, Active Directory, physical) and cyber governance (ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz), giving him fluency in both management and technical perspectives of security. Leonhard has applied scientific computing at OHB and practical robotics and firmware at Filics, a mix that makes him equally comfortable with optics simulations and embedded constraints. He holds an MSc and BSc in Computer Science from TUM and is pursuing broader cultural studies, reflecting a curious, multidisciplinary approach to problem solving.
