Hello. I am Cristian.
I am a cyber security professional based in Brazil with extensive experience in information security, system administration, computer vision, and image processing. Since high school, I have worked on research projects in various areas, including information security, privacy, malware analysis, software-defined networking, and artificial intelligence.
In addition to my work, I am currently pursuing a PhD degree in Computer Science. I believe that the combination of my practical experience and academic study allows me to have a broad and innovative perspective on the cyber security challenges faced by companies today.
I enjoy experimenting with new tools and technologies and, whenever possible, developing open-source projects to help the community. My main research interests include malware analysis, operating systems, and artificial intelligence.
