Profile

5 years in cybersecurity · last 2 focused on forensics, reverse engineering and OSINT

I like taking systems apart, spotting the weak points, and turning them into concrete, practical fixes. I test, learn, and document along the way.

I have 5 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience, with the last 2 focused on OSINT forensics and reverse engineering. I have worked in company environments and I specialize in software pentesting, with a strong CTF-driven mindset. I am specialized in endpoint security and testing web applications and PWAs.

CTF competitions pulled me into this world. In September 2025 I founded RootRunners, now one of the top teams in Italy with professionals from around the world.
