About Papa

Cybersecurity engineer specializing in embedded systems, connected objects (IoT), and Android environments.

What I do specifically:

Security audits on Android & OS applications (reverse, privileges, permissions)

Penetration tests on embedded and industrial systems

Firmware analysis and reverse engineering (ARM, x86)

Communication security (CAN, Ethernet, UDS, MAC)

My background as an electronics engineer gives me a solid hardware/software understanding, ideal for assessing the security of complex systems.
Rigorous methodology based on risk analysis, OWASP standards, MITRE ATT&CK, and an offensive-defensive approach.

Responsive, serious, and results-oriented.
