What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level cybersecurity or blockchain roles offering hands-on engineering challenges, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to research-driven, collaborative teams.

I am currently a master's student in Computer Science and Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark, building on a Bachelor in Computer Science from the University of Cagliari. I combine strong academic training with practical, hands-on problem solving.

I focus on cybersecurity and distributed ledger technologies, having participated in the CyberChallenge.IT national laboratory and attended the 5th Scientific School on Blockchain & DLT. My earlier studies in telecommunications and a secondary-school diploma awarded 100 cum laude underline my technical foundation and academic discipline.

I enjoy applying theory to real network scenarios and competitive exercises that simulate live environments, and I have experience with gamified online competitions that sharpen incident-response and defensive skills. I am curious about cryptography, crypto-economics, and the intersection of computing with economics and game theory.

I am eager to bring analytical rigour, a research-oriented mindset, and collaborative communication to entry-level roles where I can contribute to secure systems or blockchain research while continuing to learn through mentorship and practical projects.
