About Me.

What about me?

I'm a DevSecOps living in Portugal.

I began my professional journey in 2017 as a Software Developer, where I honed my skills in coding and building applications. While software development remains a passion of mine—something I still occasionally dabble in—my career gradually transitioned toward DevOps. In this phase, I focused on building and managing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and containerized environments using tools like Docker and Kubernetes.

As my expertise evolved, I delved deeper into the realms of DevSecOps and Cybersecurity. I started implementing robust tools and practices to integrate security into the CI/CD lifecycle, including code scanning and vulnerability assessments. My work expanded to deploying and managing day-to-day cybersecurity tools such as Wazuh, ensuring comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities.

Additionally, I’ve played a key role in configuring and managing multiple clustered Palo Alto firewalls, safeguarding both company data and classified information. My experience reflects a strong balance of technical, operational, and security-focused knowledge, allowing me to bridge the gaps between development, operations, and cybersecurity.
