Professional profile
Bachelor's Degree in SystemsFacultad de Ingeniería · Universidad de Buenos Aires

Code was the beginning.

Two chapters connected by the same curiosity: understanding systems from the inside.

Code, architecture and application context inform how I assess and remediate security.
