About Me

I am a Sr. Security Engineer with very broad experience across different domains. I'm not the best or most experienced engineer in any of those fields, and I'm not trying to present myself as such. But I do have meaningful hands-on experience in all of them. I do my best to learn and grow through my work and so far I have not had a task which I could not handle.

I started out as a Software Engeering student many years ago, but life happened and I somehow eneded up in security. For one reason or another it fit my personality more than being a dev, so I went all in and decided that I will follow that career path instead. And here we are...

Currently

Right now my main focus is my position at Quickbase. I'm in charge of handling all the IAM challenges of the fully remote workforce and the multi-cloud prod environment. Besides that I'm also working on various personal side projects such as this website and also looking for practical certifications that offer something new without the questionable business practices.

I usually spend my free time doing one of these great human activities. Sometimes I even combine them for even better human experiences :)

Being bad at basketball
Being a music snob
Not Getting Enough Sleep (video games)
Running my home kitchen like it's got a Michelin star
Reading all the Horus Heresy novels
Doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
