Mendieta
Security Engineer

I build security tools, break into vulnerable systems for practice, and automate everything I can. Telecom NOC engineer turned cybersecurity researcher — I taught myself to code, cut a critical process by 92%, and moved to New York to go further. Where there's a problem, I sit down and solve it.

Work Speaks for Itself
Step through the story behind my work. Each command reveals a project, a skill, or a problem I had to solve. Built like a terminal, because that’s where most of the work actually happened.

Built, not assigned
Every project here started with a problem I wanted to solve. No coursework requirements, no tutorials followed — just tools I needed and decided to build.
What I broke and how I fixed it
Penetration test walkthroughs, malware forensics, and build logs. Written to think clearly, not to impress.
