Senior🎓
Top SchoolMirko Mollik is an Identity Architect with 11 years of experience focused on securing digital identities and verifiable credentials while preserving usability. He currently defines the architecture for the German EUDI Wallet at SPRIND and chairs two OpenWallet Foundation SIGs that compare wallets, agents, and credential formats—work that highlights his ability to navigate the surprisingly messy interoperability landscape of dozens of formats, DID methods, and trust models. A researcher-turned-practitioner with a Master's in Internet Security and a stint as a PhD candidate, he blends academic rigor with hands-on product and protocol development, including founding a trust-as-a-service startup. Based in Düsseldorf, he brings a pragmatic, adversary-minded approach summed up by his motto “security by inconvenience,” aiming to make secure systems both robust and usable.
