Hi, I'm Nicolò Viero, a 26-year-old Cyber Security Specialist from Italy, passionate about protecting people and businesses from today's ever-changing cyber threats. My journey began as a curious teenager, fascinated by the inner workings of computer systems and eager to push their limits. What started as a hobby quickly became a calling: using my skills to help others stay safe in an increasingly digital world. With hands-on experience and a strong grasp of the modern threat landscape, I specialize in securing both personal and professional environments. I thrive on finding innovative, effective ways to stay ahead of cyber attackers. When I'm not safeguarding systems, I'm usually diving into the latest security trends, coding something new, or exploring new places around the world. I believe curiosity is my greatest asset, it drives me to challenge the status quo and constantly improve. If you're looking for someone who combines technical expertise with genuine passion, you're in the right place. Let's connect.
