Hey there! I'm Adriano, your go-to guy to geek out about all things tech.

Remember the days of fine-tuning emm386 in your config.sys and setting blaster=A220 I5 D1 H5 T6 in your autoexec.bat? That's where my journey in the tech world began—juggling memory management to enjoy a seamless session of Doom with perfect sound.

For over 20 years, I have been down the Coding and Cybersecurity road. I like to create things, but was always curious to find out the many ways I could make them fail catastrophically (but equally interested in how to make them more resilient).

Professionally, I've had the opportunity to wear many hats: developer, red team analyst, team leader, and even CTO. Currently, I am a Principal Security Engineer, leading Appsec and Offensive security teams, at a Fortune 100 company. As a way to give back to the community, I also volunteer my time as a Goon at DEF CON's NOC team. If you ever used the (in-)famous DEF CON Wifi, you are welcome!

Currently, I am diving into the challenges and unknowns around AI Red Teaming. On this blog you might see me writing about all kinds of topics, the only guarantee I can give you is they will always be related to coding or cybersecurity, or both.

Reach out if you want to geek out about any topic I write about—I'm always up for a good tech talk!
