Profile

I'm a Cybersecurity and Privileged Access Management specialist, CyberArk certified CDE-PAM, PAM-DEF and PAM-SEN. I handle delivery and consulting on CyberArk solutions (PVWA, CPM, PSM), hardening and compliance for privileged account security.

I have a solid systems background — networking, virtualization, identity and security — built over years of managing IT infrastructure and Infor system integration and Industry 4.0 projects.

Curious and hands-on by nature: in my spare time I build mobile apps, automations and bots. Native Italian, English B2, learning Japanese 🇯🇵 — and open to relocation, including internationally.
