I build one thing.
I break everything else.

Co-founder and head of development at Sefthy, where I lead development and ship the code that turns enterprise grade backup and disaster recovery into something a small team can actually run. Off the clock, I hunt critical vulnerabilities. That’s two published CVEs so far, a TOP 10 spot on Bugcrowd Italy and a TOP 20 finish on Hack The Box2024.

Work

What I do, and where.

I build one product for real, and break plenty of others for sport. The offensive work keeps my own code paranoid in the right places; the building keeps the bug-hunting grounded in what actually ships.

Building products
Full-stack since 2016. At Sefthy I lead development of plug-and-play backup and disaster recovery that brings a downed server back online, in the cloud, in minutes.
Offensive security
Penetration testing, bug bounty and CTF. Two CVEs assigned, TOP 10 in Italy on Bugcrowd for critical findings, and TOP 20 globally on Hack The Box in 2024. I go for the bugs nobody thinks are exploitable.

Have a system worth breaking,
or one worth building?
