About me

Hi, my name is André Silva, and I'm 23 years old.

I'm Network and Security Engineer taking a PhD in Computer Science at FCUP, currently working as a System Administrator and Teaching at University of Porto.

My job is to build your network so that it is functional and reliable but at the same time secure. My aim is not only working, is also to share my knowledge and experience with others.
