About

👋 Hey, I’m Rodrigo Faria Link to heading

I’m a cybersecurity and network engineer with a deep passion for infrastructure, performance, and breaking things (just to make them stronger). By day, I work across DevOps, secure systems, and backend development. By night, I’m running experiments in my homelab or crafting low-level tools in C++.

I believe in building resilient systems - whether it’s through hardened firewalls, optimized protocols, or a finely tuned Proxmox cluster. My work spans from security-first architecture to performance-oriented networking, with a heavy curiosity for offensive and defensive strategies.
