ABOUT ME
Web Developer Turned Cybersecurity Student — Based in Barcelona
Currently, I’m transitioning into cybersecurity while pursuing a Master’s degree in Barcelona. I’m focusing on areas like vulnerability analysis, web application security, and digital forensics — building a unique profile that blends development and security.
I also manage my own servers, experiment with automation, and keep a hands-on lab environment for testing and learning. Whether I’m writing Python, deploying in Linux, or auditing applications, I thrive on continuous growth and clarity in execution.
