About me

I'm an Automation Developer with over ten years of experience in process automation using Python, Bash, PHP, Linux and SQL. My journey began in design: every repetitive task became an opportunity to write code and understand how things really work — and what happens when they break.

Over time, programming went from being a curiosity to an integral part of my work: I analyse problems, connect different technologies and design workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce errors and concretely improve how work gets done.

That same mindset — understanding a system all the way to its limits — led me to cybersecurity. In 2024 I chose to turn it into a professional path; in 2026 I earned CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701), and I continue to deepen Linux, networking and offensive security through constant study and hands-on labs on TryHackMe.

My goal is to grow as a Penetration Tester and, over time, into Red Teaming: I believe the best way to defend a system is to understand it thoroughly.

For me, security is not only a profession, but the point where my curiosity, drive to improve things and non-negotiable ethics converge — together with the certainty that learning never ends.

Areas in active development

Handling routine

I tackle it by converting it into automation: repetitive, mechanical tasks become scripts and processes that remove them.

Focus & execution

I'm learning to channel my enthusiasm to complete one goal at a time: the structured path of certifications and labs is how I train this discipline.

Continuous learning

Hands-on labs on TryHackMe, experimentation in isolated environments, and constant updating on cybersecurity and ethical hacking through industry content and resources.

Planned certification path:

  • Cisco CCNA (200-301)
  • INE eJPT
  • English language improvement

Languages

  • Italian — Native
  • English — Good written technical comprehension; basic spoken, currently being improved

Interests

  • Football
  • Music
  • Sport
  • Pets
  • Cinema
  • Photography
  • Innovation & technology
  • Art
  • Process automation
  • Theatre

My values

Ethics, curiosity and continuous learning guide how I work: I study what I don't know, verify what I build and treat responsibility as inseparable from technical skill.

I prefer solid foundations to shortcuts, because technology can only be used and protected effectively when its inner workings are understood.
