IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity · Barcelona


👤 About me

IT professional transitioning into cybersecurity, with hands-on experience managing production infrastructure and a strong focus on network security, hardening, and secure service deployment.

I have designed and operated a self-hosted homelab environment with 10+ services in production, protected through Cloudflare Tunnels, dual VPN (WireGuard + Tailscale), and strict network segmentation. Professionally, I have worked as an IT Infrastructure & Security Consultant, implementing Docker-based deployments, VPN solutions, reverse proxies, and automated backup systems.

Currently completing the Cybersecurity track at IT Academy Barcelona Activa (386h, Cisco Networking Academy — SOC Analyst Level 1 path) and finishing my degree at 42 Barcelona.
