I have a BSc in computer engineering and an MSC in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics. I have also co-authored a paper in digital forensics that was published in the journal Digital Investigation.
My first job was as a Data Analyst at EY, which gave me a data-drive mentality.
Afterwards I worked for 2 years as a Cybersecurity consultant, during the first year I focused mostly in GRC related projects, in the second year I started assisting mostly IR and Pentesting projects. Due to this, I decided to study and get the GCIH certification.
I then moved jobs and worked as a Cyber security analyst at UserGems, which is an american startup company. Due to my good work and independent attitude I was promoted to Cyber Security Manager after a year, making me responsible for all aspects of cyber security in UserGems.
