My name is Marc Langenberg — I’m an IT specialist with a focus on cybersecurity and cloud solutions, and the creative mind behind my passion project CosplayGIF.
I’m currently preparing for my exam to become an Certified Information Security Specialist (CISS) (CCI) / geprüfter Berufsspezialist in Informationssicherheit (IHK), deepening my expertise in secure system architecture and compliance.
For more than ten years, I’ve been deeply involved in the cosplay and convention community, working voluntarily as a division and team leader at DoKomi Expo in Düsseldorf, Germany from 2014 to 2024.
The unique energy, creativity, and passion of the cosplay scene have fascinated me ever since and continue to influence both my technical and creative projects today.
With over a decade of experience as a photographer and retoucher (for brands such as Ulla Popken, Douglas, and dm), I combine creative vision with technical expertise.
My journey from digital film production to commercial fashion photography and IT taught me how to merge creativity and technology in secure, smart, and innovative ways.
