About Tim

While working as a security researcher, Tim Hemel discovered that few programmers learned to write safe software as part of their education. To fill this gap, he developed a Safe Programming course, focusing on developing the right mindset rather than remembering details that are out of date after three months.

He now assists software development teams from iComply in making secure software. He uses the Framework Secure Software, which he co-developed to structure security in software during construction and to be able to test it at any time.

Tim is interested in everything related to programming and IT security, from abstract academic concepts to bits and bytes.

Tim is also the main developer of the SECO Institute’s Secure Programming Certification track.
