THIS IS
WHO? ME!

Hi, I’m Stephan S. Riedel, and my IT journey began from code to content to cybersecurity.

I started with a coding bootcamp at CODERS.BAY Vienna. Later, I expanded into content and digital design.

And I recently completed KPMG’s IT trainee program, where I explored various areas of IT. I specialized in information security management — handling incidents, monitoring systems, writing policies. And much more…

curiosity sparks my journey
& learning shapes my path
