About Me

Computer Engineer (UGR) with a strong foundation in programming and systems, specialized in Cybersecurity and Systems Security. I recently obtained the CompTIA Security+ certification, consolidating my focus on infrastructure protection and risk management. My previous experience in VFX environments has developed my capacity for deep system analysis, critical incident troubleshooting, and workflow optimization (pipelines). I seek to apply my analytical mindset, strong adaptability, and commitment to continuous learning (TryHackMe) in a demanding technical role within the information security sector.
