Doris Hauser is currently working at nic.at, the Austrian registry, as a Linux sysadmin (mainly) with a bit of networking and scripting/programming (bash/python mostly).
She started getting into computers at a young age, starting with games on DOS computers, then joining a technical high school in Vienna when she was 14 years old. Afterwards she made her bachelor’s degree in IT Security at a university of applied sciences in lower Austria.
Doris’ bachelor thesis was about the security of smart sex toys (or rather the lack thereof), with a focus on privacy issues in the smartphone apps of said toys.
