About me

I'm a Security Researcher and experienced Backend & Cloud Engineer transitioning into a full-time cybersecurity role. I enjoy build and breaking systems, especially when it involves collaborating with a team to tackle complex problems in a scalable and cost-efficient way.

I've been deeply involved in cybersecurity since college, focusing on Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis. I tracked major Ransomware-as-a-Service campaigns (GrandCrab, REvil, Ryuk... and other malware campaigns) and uncovered novel attack techniques and obfuscation methods used by cybercriminals, initially inspired by the WannaCry outbreak.

I like to keep things light and fun, but I'm serious about delivering quality. I aim for a balance of high standards and practical solutions.
