IT Support & Infrastructure (Tier 1–3) → Systems Security & Applied AI Research

Overview · Background & Focus · Projects · Technologies · Education & Background


Overview

My professional background is in corporate IT support and infrastructure, progressing from technical intern to Tier-3 support and infrastructure analyst. That operational work involved administering production operating systems, network topologies, storage pools, enterprise backups, and troubleshooting incidents under SLA constraints.

Alongside that infrastructure foundation, I conduct independent technical research focused on systems security, binary analysis, and applied AI through hands-on codebases.


Background and Focus

My technical focus bridges corporate operations with low-level systems engineering:

  • Systems & Binary Analysis: Low-level Windows internals, process memory inspection, pattern scanning, and game runtime reverse engineering.
  • Infrastructure & Automation: Linux/Windows server administration, enterprise backup and monitoring configurations, asset extraction pipelines, and agent environment tooling.

Projects

Project & Stack Core Architecture & Focus Status & Artifacts
Deadlock-Nightmare-Dumper
Python · Pymem · AoB Scanning
Memory scanner targeting Valve's Deadlock (deadlock.exe). Inspects client.dll and engine2.dll to locate dynamic global offsets (dwEntityList, dwViewMatrix), serializing offsets to JSON alongside static C++/C# headers. Experimental
Runtime offset compatibility unverified against newest game builds.
deadlock-open-assets
Python · VPK Parsing · GitHub Pages
Automated asset extraction workflow unpacking game VPK archives into organized vector UI components, hero ability icons, and structured JSON manifests (heroes.json, items.json). Published Catalog

noc-lab
Linux · Bacula · Zabbix
Practical laboratory runbook repository documenting systems administration, network protocols (NFS, SMB, iSCSI), backup configurations with Bacula Community, and telemetry with Zabbix and Grafana. Reference Runbook
Modular setup guides across 10 operational areas.

Technologies

Core technologies applied across these projects and in daily operational routines:

  • Systems & Memory Research: Python (Pymem), process memory inspection, pattern scanning (AoB), PE structures.
  • Automation & Tooling: Python CLI scripts, Bash, PowerShell, VPK archive extraction, JSON manifests and data serialization.
  • Infrastructure & Operations: Linux (Debian, Ubuntu Server, CentOS), Windows Server, Bacula Community, Zabbix, Grafana, network storage (NFS, SMB, iSCSI), virtualization (Hyper-V, KVM).

Education and Background

  • Education:
    • Postgraduate Specialization in Information Security (Pós-graduação Lato Sensu em Segurança da Informação) — PUCPR (360h, 2024–2025).
    • B.S. in Cyber Defense (Graduação em Defesa Cibernética) — Estácio (2019–2021).
  • Practical Training & Labs:
    • SOC Level 1 Learning Path — TryHackMe (87h 50m of defensive simulation: SIEM, traffic analysis, and incident triage).
  • Career Path:
    • Progressive enterprise IT infrastructure experience, advancing from technical intern to Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 support and infrastructure analyst.
