Dragos Baranga

Hi, I’m Dragos. I started my journey troubleshooting complex systems on cruise ships — an environment where precision and quick problem-solving were essential. That experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure and dig deep into technical challenges.


More recently, I’ve been working as a Network Administrator in a company developing software for mobile core networks. There, I strengthened my skills in Linux, networking, and infrastructure security, while getting a closer look at how large-scale systems connect and stay resilient.


Now, I’m excited to take the next step: focusing fully on cybersecurity. I’m passionate about securing critical systems, tackling vulnerabilities, and constantly learning new ways to protect the digital world.
