Juan Cardesa — Software Engineer & Security

I build software. And test what isn't secure.

Final-year Software Engineering student at the University of Seville, focused on cybersecurity. I've built an anti-phishing browser extension and a Git secret scanner, and I'm now building a honeypot lab — a local Cowrie sensor and a MITRE ATT&CK mapping pipeline, not yet exposed to the internet. Open to internships in security or development.

I'm completing my degree in Software Engineering at the University of Seville, but most of what I know about cybersecurity I've learned by building: a phishing detector, a secret scanner and now a honeypot. Every project starts from the same question — how does this attack actually work? — and isn't finished until it ships with tests and CI.

Security appeals to me because it forces two perspectives at once: the builder's and the attacker's. That's how I write software too — assuming someone will try to break it.

Security

Building a honeypot lab: a local Cowrie sensor plus a Python pipeline that parses, anonymises and enriches session events with offline GeoIP/ASN data, then maps them to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Validated against synthetic samples and a self-generated local capture — not yet exposed to the internet.

03 —Security Roadmap

Building a strong foundation in cybersecurity.

I'm shaping my profile towards cybersecurity by combining hands-on projects with a progressive certification roadmap. My goal is to move forward with purpose: first strengthening the fundamentals, then building cloud knowledge, and eventually going deeper into offensive security.

Next on the roadmap: eJPT → OSCP, moving into offensive security.

UniRaid.

I take part in UniRaid with Los Pata Negra, a team joining this student solidarity rally across Morocco in a classic car to deliver humanitarian aid to underserved communities.

Let's build something.

I'm open to internships, collaborations, and projects where I can contribute through software development, cybersecurity, or product building. The fastest way to reach me:
