Rodrigo Almeida

About

I am Rodrigo Almeida, a Senior Cybersecurity Consultant and Ethical Hacker with 25 years of experience in Information Technology.

My career includes 10 years working with infrastructure, networks, and operating systems (Unix, Linux, and Windows), followed by the last 15 years focused on offensive security and application security in enterprise environments.

Throughout my career, I have worked with companies across technology, manufacturing, retail, and fintech sectors, supporting organizations where security failures can lead to real operational and financial impact.

I have also collaborated with international teams in security programs involving environments in Brazil, India, China, Finland, and Taiwan, providing strong exposure to global security standards and diverse enterprise architectures.

My work focuses on helping organizations identify realistic attack paths before adversaries can exploit them.

I conduct penetration tests, application security assessments, vulnerability management initiatives, and Red Team simulations, translating technical findings into actionable recommendations for engineering and leadership teams.

Technically, I operate across application security, network security, and cloud environments.

I use Kali Linux as my primary platform and leverage Bash, Python, and C to automate security testing workflows, build tooling, and develop proof-of-concept exploits.

My experience sits at the intersection of Offensive Security, Application Security, DevSecOps, and Cloud Security.

This includes supporting secure development practices, integrating security testing into CI/CD pipelines, and improving organizational visibility and control over modern attack surfaces aligned with CSPM, ASPM, and DSPM concepts.
