Projects

Currently, I am working on the following projects:

Tom's Technology Blog
A blog where I write about technology I am working with (in my professional or private life). While this is mostly for self-documentation, it has already proven useful for other people as well.
Secure Enterprise Desktop
The Secure Enterprise Desktop provides a desktop environment accessible from standard PCs from all around the world through an access key. The access key is a small token that ensures that the computer used for accessing the Enterprise Desktop can be trusted --- be it a corporate computer or not.

Projects, I have been working on previously can be found on my projects page.

Lectures

I have been teaching several lectures in the past and am still teaching the Software Development with C++ Templates course. More about this to come some time in the future.
