I am a cybersecurity professional with a strong background in applied security research, penetration testing, and digital forensics. My interests centre on understanding attacker behaviour and analysing how real-world web applications fail, from common vulnerability classes to complex exploitation chains.
I previously worked as a Research Associate in Cyber Security at NEC Laboratories Europe, where I analysed complex attack scenarios and contributed to proof-of-concept defences in the context of secure machine learning.
I hold an MSc with Distinction in Advanced Security & Digital Forensics from Edinburgh Napier University (NCSC certified). My dissertation focused on "Behavioural Analysis of Current Evolution Ransomware Attack Exfiltration Methods", and I was selected as a Teaching Assistant for the MSc Penetration Testing module. I earned my BSc in Computer Science from the University of Milan and represented my university in the CyberChallenge, Italy’s national cybersecurity training programme.
My main interests include penetration testing, web security, digital forensics, and post-quantum cryptography, with a strong emphasis on applied security and hands-on experimentation. In my free time, I participate in CTFs and attack-and-defence challenges, and bug bounty research, developing small tools and scripts in Python, JavaScript and C to explore security problems in practice.
I am seeking opportunities in offensive security, defensive security, or applied cybersecurity research, where I can contribute to real-world security challenges.
