Competition
International Cybersecuirty Championship
“I competed in the International Cybersecurity Championship (ICC) 2023 in San Diego, California. Teams representing each continent compete yearly in the ICC, a Capture The Flag competition that comprises a set of computer security challenges, including reverse engineering, memory corruption vulnerabilities, cryptography, web technologies, and more. I served as the memory corruption specialist for Team LATAM in the Jeopardy CTF and as the KoTH specialist in the A/D CTF.”

Exploit Research
“I have done 'PWN' in CTFs for a couple of years. I've used what I've learned competing to do security research and created a novel bypass for one of the strongest security mitigations in glibc, the most widely-used and base library of the C programming language.”

University Lecture
Lecturing on Computer Security for +150 undergraduate students
“I was invited by Professor Jorge Munoz-Gamma as a lecturer for his Computer Science Introductory Class (IIC1005) at UC-Chile. I was able to demostrate a JavaScript exploit, teach mitigation practices and advice on correct vulnerability reporting to over 150 students.”

TV Appearance
Mega, one of the biggest national TV channels, invited us to a broadcast special to demostrate recent security breaches suffered by multiple organizations in our country. We were able to recreate their internal server and malware in action.”
