👋 Greetings from Niccolò!
Hello there! I’m Niccolò, an adventurous cybersecurity enthusiast eagerly counting down to my Master’s degree completion in Cybersecurity at the University of Twente this September. I’m revving up for a thrilling dive into the world of penetration testing and red team operations.
🎓 My Educational Adventure
My passion for cybersecurity ignited at the University of Florence, where I explored the complex worlds of algorithms, programming, and database systems. The adventure didn’t stop there—I pursued a Master’s double degree through the EIT Digital Master School at both the University of Trento and the University of Twente, enriching my expertise with a global perspective.
💼 Professional Pathway
Currently, as a Software Security Researcher at Huawei in Brussels, I specialize in semantic fuzzing to unearth vulnerabilities in database systems. I thrive in the competitive spirit of CyberChallenge and CTF competitions, constantly pushing the boundaries of what I can secure and breach. Alongside my job, I am diligently preparing for the eJPT (Junior Penetration Tester) certification to deepen my penetration testing skills.
🌍 Future Aspirations
With graduation just around the corner, I’m buzzing with excitement to channel my passion for offensive security into roles that challenge and utilize my skills in penetration testing and red teaming. I’m also learning French, enhancing my ability to engage with a broader network in the cybersecurity community.
🏔️ Beyond the Keyboard
Beyond the bits and bytes, I find joy and inspiration in mountain sports and extensive travels. Whether I’m skiing down a slope, trekking through lush trails, or indulging in the serene beauty of nature, these activities recharge my spirit and sharpen my creative edge—both vital for my cybersecurity missions.
