Matus Marko

Core Developer, Finland

My focus is contributing to the development of the Curity Identity Server. This includes writing and reviewing code, integrating new features, and ensuring the platform's security and performance. Additionally, I assist with customer support, helping to ensure our clients have a smooth experience using our product.

My Background

When I began my career, cybersecurity wasn't at the forefront of my mind. However, over time, I got drawn to the complexities and importance of identity management, finding it both fascinating and essential. This realization led me to specialize in this critical area.

Before joining Curity, I worked at another company dealing with various security technologies. Although my focus wasn't on identity standards, this role provided me with a solid foundation and understanding of cybersecurity.

My Curity Story

I joined Curity in 2021, during the pandemic. Although I had experience with remote work, doing it permanently was quite a challenge. I appreciate that Curity made the transition so smooth.

What I enjoy most about working here is the people. Collaborating with the team, discussing ongoing projects, brainstorming ideas, and finding solutions is always fun. Everyone is enthusiastic about their work, making these discussions engaging and often quite lengthy!

Work/Life

While I appreciate the flexibility of remote work, I sometimes miss the office environment and real-time conversations with colleagues. That's why I always look forward to the physical gatherings that Curity organizes every few months; I get a lot of energy and inspiration from those.

To manage my work-life balance, I focus on maintaining routines and setting clear boundaries between work and personal time. When I succeed (which isn’t always), it helps me stay productive and ensures I have time to relax and recharge.

In My Free Time

I enjoy solving Sudoku puzzles and sailing. My first sail was in Greece, where we encountered a thunderstorm—it was thrilling! I loved the sensation of escape and being one with nature. Some time ago, I bought a small old boat and took sailing courses to experience it more often.
