Hi, I'm Damian.
I build backends and learn to break them.

Cybersecurity Engineering student at FCC BUAP in Puebla. Mostly backend work: distributed scrapers, real time pipelines, APIs that cannot go down.

About

What I study, what I build, and why I keep breaking it

Where I study, what I build, and why I keep taking it apart.

Backend developer and Cybersecurity Engineering student

What I like most is the point where building something and securing it stop being two separate jobs. I would rather ship a system I know well enough to attack than one that only holds up when nothing goes wrong.

Based in Puebla, Mexico
