Hi, my name is Andreas Falk and I am working as Executive Consultant for CGI located in Stuttgart/Germany.
I’m enthusiastic about the software architecture, security and identity access management. I am a iSAQB certified solution architect and iSAQB accredited trainer for the foundation certification.
Architecture & Security Trainings
As a member of OWASP and the OpenID Foundation, I support the development of secure software and integrate IAM solutions. I am also a teacher. Specifically, my training/coaching portfolio includes:
- Secure Design, Coding and Testing (From secure requirements to secure operation popagating DevOps approach)
- Identity and Access Management (SAML, OAuth 2.0/OAuth 2.1, OpenID Connect, Verifiable Credentials)
Conference Speaker & Author
I am a frequent speaker appearing at conferences like JAX, Voxxed Days, Devoxx and Spring I/O.
These are great places to share my project practical experience with you. This includes among other topics like Authentication of Microservices using OpenID Connect and Kubernetes Security.
From time to time I also like to write articles and blog posts. Some of my articles can be found in Java Magazin, iX or Objekt Spektrum.
Leisure Time
As a balance to work, leisure activities are also needed. Here, I spend time with my family and my dogs. My dogs are a Labrador-Lady and a Golden-Doodle male. If time allows, I also play the electric guitar in my Band Scallywag. And in order to keep my fitness, I try to practice running sessions several times a week.
