guest@garasto:~$ cat about_me.txt

"Passionate about IT, Networking, and Cybersecurity, I am a professional with a broad and diverse educational background. After a scientific high school diploma (PNI - 'Piano Nazionale Informatico'), I merged humanities studies in theology and philosophy with extensive training and a deep passion for IT and Cybersecurity, earning several certifications."

My IT journey includes Networking (Cisco), Linux, Programming (Python) and Cybersecurity (CompTIA, ISC2, TCM, HTB), focusing on ethics and digital best practices. My previous experiences as an instructor and security consultant have developed solid skills in managing interpersonal dynamics and effective communication.

I have refined soft skills such as active listening, teamwork, empathy, and problem-solving, also thanks to my long Franciscan and missionary experience. I am committed to continuous learning and experimenting with innovative methodologies to combine technology and human sensitivity. As a fan of music and martial arts, I constantly cultivate creativity and discipline, characteristics I bring to the professional field to offer valuable solutions.
