~/about
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Informatics, security researcher and fullstack developer focused on Android malware dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, security tooling and CTF-style training environments. I am currently part of SECRET (SECurity & Reverse Engineering Team) at UFPR. My work combines academic research, practical engineering and hands-on investigation of suspicious applications, execution traces and security challenges.
