Welcome Tarik! I hope you share awesome ideas. Privacy and security of personal data are very important topics in the current society.

Thanks - it was just over the horizon 10 years ago when I started looking at it, but it's here in full force now and I see very few devs that pay enough attention to the space. Security is often an afterthought...

I'm glad that third-party security auditions are getting more common though. At least In my projects in Finland. Security should be part of the development process from the beginning.

There is a lot of democratization of development with how accessible
boot camps and coding classes are, which is generally a good thing, but few of them even mention security and privacy considerations as there is a lot to learn and it's hard to squeeze in while learning everything else. This results in a lot of apps that just don't consider it.

I am glad to hear the stuff you've been working on considers it as part of the process from the beginning as security is not something you can just bolt on at the end.
