Roman Böhringer / Switzerland
Curiosity,to the core.
Security engineer. Systems thinker.
I build, study and secure complex systems. And I like to understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

From keeping systems running
to finding their limits.
My path started with Linux and infrastructure. It ran through Computer Science and Data Science at ETH Zürich, into distributed computing, and eventually into securing permissionless systems and the novel financial primitives built on them.
Today, my work spans financial protocols, infrastructure, and incident response. I’m drawn to the places where assumptions meet reality, and to sharing what I learn along the way.
