Work Experience

HF Market

Security Engineer Intern
06/2022 – 8/2022

As an intern within the security and infrastructure team, I took on significant responsibility by leading three distinct security projects, predominantly working independently. These projects were documented in professional reports and included:

  • Conducting a Memory DLL Injection Purple Team Operation
  • Responsible for the Assesment and Deployment of an Attack Emulation Platform
  • Orchestrated a Ransomware Simulation through the Attack Emulation Platform
These experiences highlight my proactive approach to learning and contributing to critical security initiatives during my internship tenure.

During my tenure with the research and development team, I focused on devising a decentralized ad-hoc solution aimed at facilitating reliable data exchange among moving drones deployed for data gathering and analysis in emergency scenarios. I successfully achieved this objective by implementing a solution using Python, adopting a publisher/subscriber model, and leveraging ROS's topics.
