I'm Andres, a Defect Reproduction Engineer with a growing focus on security.

Short summary:

  • Day to day I reproduce bugs and trace them to the root cause, digging through logs, APIs and edge cases, then writing up what I find for teams across the company.
  • That investigation work sparked my interest in the security side of things: not just how something broke, but how someone could break it on purpose.
  • I'm currently working through PEH (Practical Ethical Hacking) to learn the fundamentals before going for the PJPT (Practical Junior Penetration Tester) and PNPT (Practical Network Penetration Tester) certifications.
  • Next steps are on my roadmap.

I also started a blog to document my journey. Along the way I'm sharing the tools I build to help me learn, plus detailed notes you can reference and learn from. If any of it helps you, I'd love to hear about it on LinkedIn.

Where it started

With Fabian at ShellHacks

ShellHacks 2023: NetStrike

Built NetStrike with my buddy Fabian at FIU's hackathon: a web app that scans a host or a whole network range for vulnerabilities. Fabian is now a penetration tester, and looking back, that weekend is where my interest in security first started.
