Work experience
I’ve been working in the private sector serving both government agencies and commercial clients since 2013.
Usually the focus of my job throughout the years was to develop integrations to ease the workflow of otherwise standalone security software and sometimes to start security products from scratch.
I also have experience as L3 security analyst and malware reverse engineer, where I can quickly respond to threats, perform triage and conduct subsequent analysis.
You can find all the details on my Resume.
I am currently available for consulting work in security, low-level development and DevOps, both in Italy and remotely.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your security needs.
