Hello, who am I?
Security engineering, practical guidance, and a clear focus on helping founders, teams, and individuals build secure systems.
My name is Dmitry,
Nice to meet you! :)
I have been working in IT with a focus on cyber security for more than 12 years. My main interest has always been helping individuals, startups, and companies build secure products and services.
In the past, I worked in multiple companies doing game/mobile development, application security assessments, cloud defense, digital forensics and incident response, conference talks, and security trainings.
Now I focus more on AI + Security: securing LLM applications, building n8n automation pipelines for security operations, and improving detection and response workflows.
I have participated in multiple security competitions, studied BS Computer Science, and completed OSCP certification.
While I am not working, learning, reading, and securing something, I like sport activities such as frisbee and cycling.
