My Professional Journey

🚀 My career took off as a Software Engineer specializing in Python, where I had the chance to work on developing Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms and web applications.🖥️ As I delved deeper into the realm of software engineering and played a significant role in business analysis processes, I started to appreciate the intricate web that connects software development, security, and privacy. These early experiences formed the bedrock of my future career trajectory. 🌐

🔐 As my career evolved, I found myself increasingly drawn towards roles that delicately balanced the technical and legal aspects of data protection. 💼 Holding positions as a Data Protection Manager for a multinational company, and as a Security Architect in a technology firm, I led initiatives to bolster cybersecurity, manage risk, and promote data protection policies. These experiences solidified my belief in the critical interplay between software engineering and data protection. 🎯

🧠 Capitalizing on my legal and technical acumen, I embarked on an academic journey, researching the intersection of Privacy and Data Protection by Design under the GDPR regime. 🎓 Concurrently, I also wore the hat of a lecturer, disseminating knowledge on Data Protection and Cybersecurity to students at various universities. This phase of my career helped me deepen my understanding of the subject matter while giving me an opportunity to contribute to the body of knowledge in this field. 📚

👨‍💼Today, as the founder and owner of a cybersecurity and privacy protection firm, I have the privilege of bringing all my past experiences to bear on my work. Whether it's performing data protection audits, building compliance management solutions, or offering education in privacy protection, I find myself standing at the crossroads of software engineering, data protection, and cybersecurity. And it is from this vantage point that I look forward to further shaping the field. 🏁
