5 years of international experience in software development, data science and cybersecurity, specializing in Intrusion Detection and Secure Systems.
About
I am an experienced Software Engineer with 5 years of international tenure across Brazil, Germany, and France. Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Cybersecurity, my focus lies in applying advanced machine learning techniques, such as Domain Adaptation Networks (DANs), to enhance Network Intrusion Detection Systems and overall Secure Software Development.
My career path includes building robust automation tools (Python, C++) and developing predictive ML models. I am actively seeking roles that leverage my combined expertise in Blue Team Operations, Data Science, and Robust Software Engineering.
