About

Hi, I'm Paul. My last name is actually spelled Köck, but since almost nobody outside the German-speaking world stands a chance at pronouncing that, I go by Koeck online.

I'm based in Vorarlberg, the small westernmost corner of Austria wedged between Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.

I spend most of my time building software and poking at it to see what breaks. On the building side, that spans web, desktop, and mobile, mostly in TypeScript these days. On the breaking side, it's web application security: finding bugs in software that other people depend on and (hopefully) making the internet a slightly less broken place.

I run NixOS on everything I can get away with. Yes, that is my biggest flex. No, I will not stop talking about it. If you've ever wanted a machine you can nuke and rebuild from a single config file, you already know why.

If any of this resonates, or you've found something interesting you want to share, my inbox is open.
