About

Introduction

Background, working method and what I aim to ship alongside teams.

I'm a software and cybersecurity engineer based in New York. I build solid web products, audit and secure APIs, and support teams all the way to production. What my training really taught me is how to learn: I switch stacks without friction and ramp up quickly on new languages or environments.

On the side, I ship personal projects and freelance on pentest, web and mobile engagements.
