As an engineer with a deep passion of learning I have the privilege of working with Critical Software, a leading company in safety systems and technology, contributing to various projects that define the mordern railway industry. My journey at Critical Software has allowed me to participate in different roles in software development as a developer, system tester, requirements engineer and configuration management, continuous integration and recently in cybersecurity for OT systems. All of these experiences shaped me to better understand the role of everyone in a project, their strong points and their weaknesses while also sharpening my interdisciplinary skills. While performing the different roles, I was able to contribute to state-of-the-art railway systems from our clients with the use of automation programming languages ( ST, FBL and SFC), C# and python automation.I have also worked with Jenkins build automation, have experience with Git technology, IBM ALM tools and Atlassian tools.More recently I started in the cybersecurity area for IACS systems, helping out in the security domain of railway to create safer technologies, more resilient to malicious actors and promoting the safety of the end users and the operating companies.Out of scope of work and my passions for safety and security, I find joy in reading and sharing moments with my family. When not analysing systems or playing with my child ( and if no big storm comes up), I might be seen catching waves by the local beach.My journey in software development has been marked by continuous growth and impactful contributions, and now my personal desire leads me to the cyberecurity world where I expect to grow and add value to the projects.
