What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role securing and scaling infrastructure where I can lead vulnerability assessments, build automation, and ensure regulatory-compliant digital supply chains.

I am a cybersecurity-focused IT specialist and system administrator pursuing an M.S. in Computer Software Engineering (Cybersecurity & Cloud) at Politecnico di Bari, with hands‑on experience developing Python automation for secure CBI file management and VB modules for Excel data traceability that ensured 100% data integrity.

I lead vulnerability assessments, manage digital supply chain security and regulatory compliance (GDPR, NIS2, Data Act, AI Act), and maintain corporate infrastructure stability and scalability—combining analytical rigor with a proactive security mindset to turn technical challenges into strategic business assets.
