He works with startups and organizations to turn emerging technologies into scalable products, ignoring the hype to focus on what actually works. He frequently explores the security gaps in modern AI platforms. Collaborating with security researchers, he tests how assistants with broad system access can be bypassed through simple natural language. His goal is to show developers how to design safer systems and catch vulnerabilities before convenience turns into a major security failure. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2026 Europe - Virtual Stage ยท June 30, 2026 Online - [Simon Says "Format Drive": Convenience Meets Consequences](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-europe-virtual-stage/sessions/1598-simon-says-format) ## Links - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-macher/)
