About me


An enthusiastic developer and researcher who wants to help build a better future. Active user of Linux and supporter of open source code.

I am an avid learner and I seek to surround myself with smarter and more experienced people in the infinite pursuit of improving myself.

I have recently completed my Masters of Science in Telecommunications and Computer Engineering, marking a significant milestone in my academic journey. Now, I am looking to start my career as an engineer, developer or researcher. My area of specialization is Software and Network Security, but I am also deeply interested in Blockchain and Smart Contract Development and Auditing.

When I am not working, I am chasing life-changing experiences. Mostly traveling the world, drinking fine wine and appreciating all forms of art.
