Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRafael Fernandes is a senior software engineer specializing in application security and security automation with eight years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, red team operations, and cloud-native defenses. He blends offensive expertise—custom exploits, phishing campaigns, and APT-style simulations—with secure development practices like SAST/DAST, GHAS integration, and CI/CD hardening to close the loop between finding and fixing vulnerabilities. Rafael has managed VDPs and led technical and executive reporting across enterprises including AB InBev and Xometry, while building bespoke automation and tooling in Python and Node.js to scale security workflows. Comfortable in multi-cloud environments (AWS, OCI, Azure) and container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes), he also brings infrastructure chops from pfSense to Windows Server administration. A postgraduate in Computer Forensics and eJPT-certified, he pairs offensive creativity with forensics-minded analysis—often turning PoCs into automated mitigations that reduce repeat risk.
