From Competitor to Coach to Educator

I've spent years deep in Switzerland's cybersecurity scene competing in CTF competitions, coaching national teams, and working for one of Switzerland's largest banks.

In 2024, I had the honor of coaching Switzerland's first team to WorldSkills in cybersecurity. Watching my candidates compete against 35+ countries and come out on top confirmed something I'd been thinking for years:

Most people never get the chance to access this level of training.

The platforms are either too expensive, too generic, or too disconnected from what Swiss employers actually need. So I built Endolum: A practical, gamified academy where anyone can learn the skills that get you hired.

All challenges, modules, and content comes from experience in the field.

Whether you're an IT apprentice wanting to specialize in security, a career switcher exploring the field, or a professional leveling up. I built this for you.
