Where we were the focus

Pentester by craft.
Not by certificate.

I started in 2007. No hacking course — I watched my first bank get breached and realized the problem wasn't technical, it was about people.

Eighteen years on, the same obsession: find the door before the criminal does. I've operated inside Latin America's largest public bank, on Open Banking platforms, in private banking across Brazil, Portugal, Italy and Morocco, at the world's largest iGaming company and on Europe's payments backbone.

In parallel, I've supported the Federal Police and Civil Police on complex cyber casework, and spoken at the Florida Association of Private Investigators on phishing and web attack tradecraft.

The focus is the same wherever the engagement: where it hurts most, where the adversary is most sophisticated, where the margin for error is zero.

Eight sectors. One discipline.

Financial sector dominates the engagement count, but the craft is the same across every regulated, high-stakes environment. Where the data has consequence, I've operated.

/01 Banking & finance Public and private banks, Pix, Open Finance, Open Insurance, FAPI 1.0/2.0, brokerages.
/02 Government & security Federal Police, Civil Police, treasury, regulators. Casework + offensive assessment.
/03 Media & communications National press outlets, broadcast networks, publishing platforms. Newsroom-grade pressure.
/04 Healthcare Hospitals, Santa Casa, regulated institutions. LGPD/GDPR-bound patient data.
/05 Critical infrastructure Payments backbone, telecom, identity providers. Failure = systemic, not local.
/06 iGaming & payments Global iGaming platforms. Highest-scale fraud surface in private tech.
/07 Industry & manufacturing Automotive, atacadista, manufacturing OT/IT crossover environments.
/08 Sports & global events Olympics, Formula 1, federations. Short window, zero tolerance for failure.
