Hi, I’m

Andres Facusse

Summary

Cybersecurity enthusiast with a background in industrial engineering and project management, specializing in textile manufacturing, IT & tech maintenance. I designed and adapted a network architecture over the course of 15 years. Looking back, maybe it wasnt the best way to do it, but it maintained business continuity and inspired me to dig deeper into the tech fields. former to enhance IT infrastructure and seamlessly integrate IoT solutions on the production floor. I possess various trasferable skills such as procedure documentation, agile manufacturing practices, team leadership, asset categorization, data ownership and data processing. I am eager to apply these skills and more to the cybersecurity field.
