Projects

Software Engineering Project

Java Web Application Development
Back-end and front-end development of a platform for local guides and tourists using Springboot as Framework and applying best practices in software engineering such as Unified Process (UML).

In this project, I developed a Java web application that connects local guides with tourists. The platform allows users to book guided tours, manage schedules, and provide feedback. I focused on creating a robust back-end using Springboot and ensuring a seamless user experience through an intuitive front-end design.

October 2023 - February 2024

Internship Project

Custom Monitoring Dashboard Service Engineering
Back-end and front-end development of a platform for simultaneous monitoring of private networks, utilizing tools such as Zabbix, Ninja, Unifi, and Omada. The platform includes both general and individual dashboards, integrated with a notification service via e-mail and Telegram bot.(ASP.NET Core MVC, C# - internal release and deployment)

During my internship, I developed a custom monitoring dashboard service that integrates various network monitoring tools. The project involved creating a user-friendly interface for real-time monitoring and alerting, enhancing the overall network management experience.

Dissertation

Security Operation Center in a domestic environment and SMEs
(Wazuh, pfSense, Several Linux Distributions, Proxmox, VMware ESXi, Multicloud Simulations, Penetration Testing)

In my dissertation, I explored the implementation of a Security Operation Center (SOC) tailored for domestic environments and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The project involved setting up a comprehensive security infrastructure using tools like Wazuh for threat detection, pfSense for network security, and various Linux distributions for system hardening. I also simulated multicloud environments and conducted penetration testing to assess vulnerabilities.

Interests

I am deeply passionate about science, technology, and engineering.
Over the years, I've discovered my natural tendency to dive deep into fascinating and stimulating topics related to computer science, physics, and chemistry.
Since I was a child, I've been a true "tinkerer," constantly dismantling and reassembling objects just to understand how they work.
My passion for technology led me to explore the exciting worlds of Cyber Security and Computer Science, which I've decided to study and master.
I am endlessly curious. I never tire of asking "how" and "why" about everything around me.
I also have a love for motors, hardware, and the incredible amount of technology hidden within even the simplest objects.
I could list a thousand more reasons to describe how curious I am and how much I enjoy keeping up with the modern world, but I wouldn't want to bore you!

Oh, and one more thing.. I'm a huge fitness enthusiast, fascinated by the entrepreneurship world, and I can say with absolute certainty: I'm a proud nerd!
