I'm Renato, also known as Billy Azevedo — a curious mind shaped by design, life-long tinkerer, driven by purpose, and now fully immersed in the world of cybersecurity and networks.
Cyber wasn't my first career path, but the timing for a shift was essential. My journey has gifted me a broad professional experience, shaping me into a resilient leader, an expert at problem-solving, and a highly adaptable individual, ready to face any challenge.
With roots in UX, a passion for learning, and a firm belief that good character matters as much as talent, I’m on a mission to explore the cyber landscape, bringing a deep understanding of human behavior, along with an endless interest for tech and innovation.
Always learning. Always evolving.
"I've spent years shaping brands, user-friendly interfaces, and joining design teams. My diverse background helps me bring a fresh, human-centric perspective to cybersecurity."
"After years in design, I wanted to protect the digital products I loved creating. Now, I apply my problem-solving mindset against potential threats and to risk mitigation solutions."
"I offer my expertise for companies who value a solid security posture—whether in product development, threat management, physical or cloud-based, I’m here to help them thrive."
"Absolutely! I'm currently pursuing a CompTIA Security+, however, I already own cybersecurity certs from Google and Harvard programs, plus a ton of transferable skills."
"My current approach merges creativity with focus on protecting users and systems, resulting in safer environments. Attackers keep getting creative, therefore, security must follow."
