About

Computer Engineering graduate with a strong interest in ethical hacking and offensive security. I enjoy exploring real-world attack techniques, tools, and vulnerabilities — especially through hands-on platforms like Hack The Box and TryHackMe. I'm also a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and share practical cybersecurity content on TikTok, where I demonstrate tools and tactics commonly used in penetration testing.

Working in hardware security with a focus on threat modeling and vulnerability management. I collaborate with product teams to analyze technical documentation, build Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) and threat models, and deliver reports that identify and assess potential risks.
I also work on identifying weaknesses in processors and embedded systems, creating Proofs of Concept (PoCs) to demonstrate vulnerabilities, and supporting teams in remediation using CVSS scoring and risk analysis.
As I’ve always been passionate about penetration testing, I voluntarily performed a security assessment (pentest) on one of the team’s internal platforms. This initiative, beyond my core responsibilities, allowed me to apply offensive techniques and support the team in improving the security posture of internal tools.
