About
I'm a very brisk and dynamic person with an interest in the world of cybersecurity and in continuous learning. I'm currently very interested in the security of cloud computing environments.
Cybersecurity Engineer & Cloud Security Architect
Due to both my academic background and my additional training, I've managed to have an end-to-end vision of cybersecurity in IT and OT environments. With it, I apply the security by design approach in every task I do day-to-day.
I always seek excellence in everything I do. That's why I passed both Cryptography and the End of Degree Project (Adaptive security for cloud apps) with honours.
- Degree: BEng in Cybersecurity
- City: Madrid, Spain
I stand out for my teamwork skills and my ability to work well under pressure and through unknown areas. I know how to organize myself well and make the most of my time.
My nature is very competitive, always prioritizing the collective benefit over the individual, and helping and collaborating with the people around me in everything I can.
I also like to participate in CTF competitions and work on personal projects to be active. It helps me apply the theoretical knowledge I learn and discover new things that I didn't know before.
