A seasoned Information Security professional with nearly a decade of experience, I've traversed diverse IT and communication landscapes, from ISPs driven by service level agreements to nationwide WANs. This journey honed my expertise in local and remote networks, firewalls, and other security controls. Drawn to the proactive world of offensive security, I transitioned to the red team several years ago, dedicating myself to continuous learning and honing my skills in pentesting and security assessments. My passion for cybersecurity extends to the cloud, where I actively explore docker, containers, and kubernetes. I'm a results-oriented individual with a deep understanding of the ever-evolving threat landscape, constantly seeking to strengthen defenses and outsmart attackers.

Since 2015, I've been deeply immersed in the realm of information security, shaping my expertise across various roles and responsibilities.

Currently, as an Information Security Specialist at Mercado Bitcoin in Brazil since May 2023, I spearhead security initiatives with a proactive approach, ensuring applications are developed defensively to preemptively thwart fraud and information leakage. My role involves conducting thorough research to unearth potential security loopholes, thereby fortifying our defenses against anomalies and cyber-attacks. I collaborate closely with development and DevOps teams, fostering a culture of secure development practices and executing security tests within the DevSecOps pipeline.

My tenure at PagSeguro PagBank from September 2021 to May 2023 fortified my expertise as a Security Engineer, where I provided invaluable support to development and DevOps teams in identifying and mitigating security risks. I actively engaged in technical recommendations, promoted security awareness among developers, and spearheaded the implementation of technical controls related to applications.

Prior to this, my journey traversed through roles at NTSec | Network Security, where I served as a Senior Technical Consultant, contributing significantly to the deployment of monitoring systems and providing advisory support on various security technologies like CyberArk, QRadar, and Tenable. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in conducting vulnerability assessments, external pentests, and offering guidance on incident response best practices.

My foundation in cybersecurity was laid during my tenure at Morphus Segurança da Informação, where I served in the Cyber Security Operations Analyst. Here, I championed the implementation of password vault systems, conducted insightful meetings with customers to enhance their security posture, and played a crucial role in investigating threats detected by SIEM.

Throughout my journey, I've been driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence in securing digital assets and fostering a culture of cyber resilience within organizations.
