About_Me
Hey there, welcome aboard! I’m excited to share this space with you! I’m Alex, and it’s great to have you here, whether you stumbled upon this site randomly or arrived out of curiosity. This platform serves as a dynamic space where I’ll share articles on a wide range of IT subjects, interesting knowledge areas, and other topics for our community. My motivation for creating this site was to assist those newcomers to the cybersecurity world in navigating these exciting realms. As my own understanding of InfoSec and AI has been constantly expanding, developing a foundational knowledge base that anyone can check out and explore seemed as a good idea. This is why I’ve decided to organize this information into modules, providing everyone with essential insights into various topics that I’ll be exploring.
Expect to find a mix of articles, latest news, and ‘knowledge pills‘ in the form of courses, covering the must-know concepts that I find interesting and worth sharing. I have lots of notes about different areas such as ethical hacking, cloud security or AI, so I thought it would be a great to structure and share all this content with everyone who is interested on it. This way I will be revisiting everything I have learned so far, making it easy to consult in case of need (as an information security professional, you never know when you will need that piece of information you learned who-knows when!). So it is a win-win: I get to gather all my knowledge together in a centralized platform and you get it for free!
I don’t plan to charge for any content shared here, and it will continuously evolve and expand, aiming to be as beneficial as possible for everyone. This site isn’t meant to mimic a formal academy; instead, I plan to keep our lessons and content straightforward, reader-friendly, and entertaining. The course approach is to keep the knowledge easily addressable and create comprehensive learning paths along the way.
So... Who am I?
If you ask me in a job interview, I would say I am an information security professional really passionate about cybersecurity and AI, with the aim to constantly expand my knowledge and experience into new IT fields... But that's too formal, isn't it? In fact I am just a guy who is really interested in Hacking, Cloud Security, and AI, that wants a place to share this passion with others. And yes, that is a mellow way to say I am very nerdy about this 😄. By the wat, this page is themed as the narrative Isaac Asimov universe, and you will find some Easter Eggs.
