About me
// With a background in computer science and systems, focusing on networks, security, and artificial intelligence, I am particularly interested in the design, administration, and securing of information systems.
My journey combines a solid academic foundation with practical experience in Linux environments, cybersecurity, and system monitoring, with a strong focus on infrastructure reliability, availability, and security.
What drives me is understanding how a system can be attacked in order to protect it better. I am now heading towards cloud native, DevSecOps and the security of AI systems, and I keep training on TryHackMe, Hack The Box and in CTF competitions.
