My story

It started when I was 11 years old: cracking software protection, reading Assembly, and finding vulnerabilities. Along the way I picked up different programming languages/technologies/frameworks, and a deep curiosity about how systems really work under the hood.

That hobby became a profession: first as a security engineer pen-testing security solutions, then as a software engineer trying nearly every field (desktop, games, mobile, web, cloud) before settling into what I love most: architecting large-scale systems and, more recently, building AI systems that ship to production.

It's been a long journey, and I'm really enjoying the process!
