Security is considered excessive, until it is proven insufficient.— Xavi Vila
Biography
I am.
From here, for a more "logical" understanding, I can define myself as a friend, husband, father, son, engineer, martial artist, hoplologist, scuba diver, ham radio, politician, therapist, expert witness, reader, student, fencer, recreationist, orientalist, ICTlogist, traveller, coach, genealogist, collector, mensan and some other things; not necessarily in this order of priority
or importance.
This page is my (non exhaustive) list of things I've done in a self-classified way. Let's say I love cybersecurity & IT related stuff and I love to enjoy my spare time with family and enjoying time with my hobbys (Martial arts, environment, ...). I have a management background with, not only on a security department, also with some organizations I have helped.
