Hands-on experience in network support, security monitoring and incident response.
Growing up, I was always into online video games, trying to get any advantage I could. I would check my ping, dig through config files and mess with router settings. That curiosity stayed with me as I grew up, and I became interested in figuring out what was happening behind the screen, how networks worked, how players interacted, and the security behind it all.
This led me to studying Computer Science, where I got my Bachelor's degree. Since then, through internships, I've continued to gain experience with networks and I'm currently studying for the CCNA to keep improving my knowledge and skills.
