01. About Me

I'm a cybersecurity specialist and penetration tester passionate about offensive security and red team operations.

Currently working at OPLIUM, I specialize in identifying vulnerabilities, simulating advanced adversaries, and helping organizations strengthen their security posture.

With a Master's degree in Computer Science from Politecnico di Torino and multiple industry certifications including OSCP, CRTO, and CPTS, I bring both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to every engagement.

My thesis on "Leveraging AI Techniques for Automated Security Incident Response" (SOCAI Project) demonstrates my commitment to innovation in cybersecurity automation.
