I am a Network & Security Engineer specialized on the Fortinet stack, with a strong background in Linux system administration and a deep interest in cybersecurity and offensive security. I currently work as an IT & Security Consultant at Thaumazon, where I design and deliver firewall migrations, high availability clusters, centralized log management and secure remote access for public sector and enterprise customers. My professional focus is on securing infrastructures, automating technical workflows, and continually expanding my expertise in ethical hacking.

• Current Goals: Fortinet NSE 4 (Network Security Professional) certified. Preparing for the OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional), while finalizing the VCP (VMware Certified Professional) certification.
• Core Interests: Cybersecurity, Linux administration, open-source collaboration, and the development of custom tools to enhance operational productivity.
• Work Approach: I am highly driven by automation and efficiency. I constantly look for ways to optimize existing workflows and implement effective project management strategies.

My long-term career ambition is to build and lead my own IT company. When I am not optimizing networks or studying for security certifications, you can usually find me playing chess—always working on improving my game.
