I hold a degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Burgos and am specialising in Blue Team: alert triage, log and traffic analysis, and incident investigation. My development background helps me understand how the telemetry I analyse is generated and automate repetitive tasks.

METHOD

How I work

I start with a specific question, narrow its scope, build something testable and document my decisions, including hypotheses that do not hold up. I follow the same approach when investigating an alert.
