Passionate about building secure infrastructures, SOC environments and practicing offensive security.

I am a Computer Engineering student specialized in Networks and Cybersecurity.

My journey in cybersecurity focuses on learning by building real infrastructures and practicing on real-world labs.

I enjoy designing environments where I can simulate attacks, detect threats and understand how systems behave under security pressure.

My work revolves around three main areas:

• 🔴 Offensive Security (Pentesting)
• 🔵 Defensive Security (SOC / Monitoring)
• 🟣 Network & Infrastructure Security

I strongly believe that the best way to learn cybersecurity is by building, breaking and securing systems.

My main areas of interest:

• Web Application Security
• Penetration Testing
• Security Operations (SOC)
• Threat Detection & Monitoring
• Network Security
• Infrastructure Security
• Cloud Security
• Red Team / Blue Team practices

A big part of my learning comes from building labs and security infrastructures.

Examples of environments I work on:

🔹 SOC Lab Infrastructure

Enterprise-style SOC built with:

• Wazuh
• ELK Stack (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana)
• Suricata IDS
• Windows Server
• Active Directory
• Linux Servers

Capabilities:

• centralized log monitoring
• intrusion detection
• endpoint monitoring
• security dashboards
• simulated attack detection

🔹 Web Pentesting Lab

Practice environment using vulnerable applications.

Tools & targets:

• OWASP Juice Shop
• Metasploitable
• PortSwigger Web Security Academy

Practicing vulnerabilities such as:

• SQL Injection
• XSS
• Authentication flaws
• Access control issues

🔹 Network Security Lab

Virtual networking environments using:

• GNS3
• Cisco Packet Tracer
• VMware / VirtualBox

Practicing:

• VLAN segmentation
• Routing & switching
• firewall architecture
• VPN design

Concepts practiced:

• Routing
• Switching
• VLAN
• VPN
• Network segmentation
• Infrastructure security

I actively practice cybersecurity on:

• TryHackMe
• Hack The Box
• PortSwigger Web Security Academy
• Capture The Flag competitions

These platforms allow me to apply theory to real-world attack scenarios.

Current areas of focus:

• Advanced Web Pentesting
• SOC Engineering
• Threat Detection
• Cloud Security
• Cisco CCNA Networking

Full SOC environment including:

• Wazuh SIEM
• ELK stack
• Suricata IDS
• Windows Active Directory

Goal:

simulate enterprise monitoring and detect simulated attacks.

Personal pentesting lab built to practice web vulnerabilities.

Includes:

• OWASP Juice Shop
• PortSwigger labs
• custom testing environments

Virtual network architectures designed to practice:

• routing
• segmentation
• firewalling
• VPN architectures

My long-term goal is to become a high-level cybersecurity professional specializing in:

• Penetration Testing
• Security Engineering
• Security Operations

I want to help organizations design secure infrastructures and defend against cyber threats.
