Who am I?

#

Hey, my name is Jakob Sonntag, I’m 20 years old, and I’m studying Cyber Security at the University of Bonn.

I’m interested in pretty much everything related to technology, but I’m especially passionate about computer science. In particular, I’ve become fascinated by cybersecurity and the challenges that come with it — both from a defensive and an offensive perspective.

What Drives Me?

#

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always had the urge to take things apart and put them back together again. Along the way, the same questions keep running through my head: How does it work? Why does it work this way? Where are its limits? What else can I do with it? And so on…

I work best when I can get hands-on, take on tasks and challenges, and apply the knowledge I’ve gained so far to come up with new ideas — or even discover something new.

Interests

Besides computer science, I also enjoy working with my hands and tinkering with things.

One of my biggest passions, however, is sports. I play handball for a club and enjoy sailing, but I also take every opportunity I get to try out new sports and activities.
