I study Informatics Engineering at ISEP in Porto, and this semester I'm on Erasmus at Aarhus University. Outside class I play CTFs with CHAØS, ISEP's team, mostly forensics, reverse engineering and pwn.
I'm available from February 2027 for a curricular internship in cybersecurity, February to June.
