Bio
Experienced Engineer with over 15 years in test engineering, industrial automation, and sensor integration, working across sectors such as steel, glass, R&D, and energetics. My background includes hands-on work with infrared sensors, thermal imaging systems, thyristor power controllers, and custom temperature control solutions, often in collaboration with industry-leading companies like Advanced Energy Industries, MIKRON Infrared, Sensortherm GmbH, and Accurate Sensors Technologies.
Throughout my career, I’ve led and supported technical projects from concept to implementation — including building experimental setups, developing specialized software tools (e.g., for thermal imaging and sound wave generation), and integrating IoT solutions. I also bring over a decade of technical sales experience, helping customers solve complex engineering problems through practical, tailored solutions.
After many years in engineering, I’ve chosen to pivot toward penetration testing and application security, driven by a long-standing personal interest and desire for new challenges. I hold CPTS (Certified Penetration Testing Specialist) and CBBH (Certified Bug Bounty Hunter) certifications, as well as a Cybersecurity MicroMasters from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I’m actively developing my skills in offensive security, seeking entry to mid-level roles in pentesting, AppSec, or technical security sales, where I can apply both my technical depth and customer-facing experience.
Fluent in English, with basic proficiency in Spanish, French, and German, I’m a dedicated problem solver who thrives in highly technical environments and values continuous learning, especially in areas where engineering, cybersecurity, and client interaction intersect.
