I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst & Software Developer focused on Blue Team operations and security automation. I bring hands-on experience in systems hardening, incident monitoring, and building custom auditing tools that streamline secure workflows. I’m especially motivated by proactive vulnerability detection and keeping critical digital infrastructure resilient.

In my role as a Junior Systems Engineer at Electronica Fenix, I integrated and secured robotic control software under international standards, prioritizing data integrity in high-speed environments. I handled root cause analysis for complex hardware/software failures and implemented patch management strategies that reduced system failure rates by 15%. I also managed technical requirements for high-profile vendors to ensure deployments met strict cybersecurity and performance KPIs.

I strengthened Infrastructure Security (OT) by managing the logical security of industrial control systems (ICS). I implemented network segmentation and access controls to mitigate intrusion risks, while developing Java and Python scripts to clean and streamline critical data flows—reducing operational system latency by 10%. I built a real-time monitoring dashboard using data analytics that helped cut equipment downtime by 20%.

As a freelance Cybersecurity & Systems Analyst, I engineer portable security auditing setups using Kali Linux with encrypted persistence for on-site reconnaissance and vulnerability assessments. I harden environments with secure remote access (OpenVPN tunnels) and custom firewall configurations to minimize attack surface. I also automate intelligent power management and log recording with Python to optimize energy consumption by 25%.
