My name is Pedro Chaparro and I'm from Portugal 🇵🇹. I'm a student @ Instituto Superior Técnico, taking a Computer Science and Engineering degree who aims to enroll in a Master's Degree. I like programming in general and I'm really interested in the Cyber Security field - I've been a finalist in two National events that led me to European events in Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, and in Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹. I really enjoy learning new things and helping others. I consider myself a hard worker! You can learn a bit more about myself by keep scrolling or clicking the buttons bellow, enjoy :D. ‌‌ Home General Experience Career & Education  Extracurriculars & Achievements  Get in touch GENERAL EXPERIENCE HAVE A LOOK AT THE SKILLS I HAVE AND THE TOOLS I USE PLAY WITH THE BACKGROUND Programming Soft Skills Other Skills -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Python - it's by far the language I'm most comfortable with. I've started programming with Python since the start of my university course and I've used it on a daily basis. I've done a total of 4 subject's projects as well as an external project where I taught myself Django and Bootstrap. Aside from that, I use Python for everything related to Cyber Security and general scripting. Tic-Tac-Toe (19.3v/20v) Nine Men's Morris (18.7v/20v) Vending Machines' Manager (18.2v/20v) (website) Search Algorithms in AI (18.7v/20v) C - I also started coding with C early in my course. I was able to understand better how high-level languages work "behind the scenes" as well as multi-threading with mutexes. I've had 3 subject's projects based on the C language. Kanban Board (20v/20v) Simple File System (19.3v/20v) Complex File System (19v/20v) Java - I learned Java one year into the course. I really like the idea of Object-Oriented Programming and the fact that Java uses a virtual machine which means it can be run (almost) everywhere! I also learned about design patterns and made a project for the class. Warehouse's Manager (16.7v/20v) PgSQL - On the end of the second year, I learned about PgSQL and relational databases in general. I had a semester-long project that went from designing an app in ER-models to creating a web app using Flask (with Python) to interact with the database. Vending Machines' Manager (18.2v/20v) (website) Javascript - I decided to teach myself JavaScript because I had always wanted to create a website. From what I gathered, it's a powerful scripting tool like Python but more used for web interaction with HTML and CSS, using frameworks or just vanilla JavaScript. Since I was in a "learning new stuff" mood, besides JavaScript, I also learned about React, Tailwind and Three.js which joined together made this website possible! :D Learn New Stuff - As I mentioned in my Bio, I consider myself a person who likes to learn a bit from everything. So, I'm not afraid to face new challenges and to look for new things to learn, as long as the road is interesting. An example of this is this website. Even though I had basically 0 experience with web applications, I had always found amazing some of the websites people have created and so I wanted to have one for myself; That made me learn many new stuff! Help Others - I also really enjoy helping other people, the feeling of gratitude or the "Eureka moment" that people have really means a lot. For instance, I've helped fellow coursemates with questions they had and I've contributed for my course's community summary of all the subjects. Besides that, I've also posted my weight loss project as a way to inspire others to achieve their goals. Organization & Time Management - I'm a really organized person. I like to take notes of all the important information so I can better focus on a task without losing track of what I did and what I need to do. I also write down lists of To-Dos and Diagrams in order become better organized. You can have a look at the Roadmap I made to create this website. Besides notes, I'm all about Calendars and Reminders! I like registering every task so I don't miss any and I like to be as efficient as possible with my time so I don't get overloaded. For instance, I prefer to start (and finish) university projects as soon as possible. Strong Communication & Collaboration - I consider myself communicative and a hard worker. If I'm discussing something with others, I always have in attention what they're saying and if I'm explaining something, I give every effort to make everyone clearly understand what I'm saying. To take an example, I've given math tutoring classes to many high school students. Hard Worker - I am also a hard worker and a dedicated person who gives his maximum. I always try my best to find the best solution to a given problem and if I start falling behind, I will study hard to get up on my feet. For instance, as of today (2023-02-04), I am in the top 9 of a class of ~180 people. Creative - I think that I am a very creative person. When someone talks to me about a problem, I start thinking of multiple solutions right away, some more interesting, others more radical and one or two out of the box. When I get my ideias, I try to explore them and build on top of them, getting even more ideas! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Networking / SysAdmin - Since I started a Research Investigator role in my university, I gained experience as a Systems Administrator. I have experience with networking equipment, like switches (from Juniper and Alcatel) and access points (from Cisco). I've already configured, installed and maintained equipments like those. Besides that, I also created scripts that help monitor the network and manage the equipments more efficiently. Cryptography - One of my specializations in the CTFs I play is Cryptography. I've learned about Symmetric Ciphers, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, Elliptic Curves, etc. . As of today (2023-02-03), I am the Portuguese top 7 in the CryptoHack website, one of the best platforms where you can learn about all kinds of cryptography in a gamified way. Photo Editing - Since I was young, I started using GIMP to do image manipulation as a hobby in a funny manner. Video Editing - When I first started learning image editing, I also learned how to do video editing through Premiere Pro CC as a fun hobby. This skill was already useful in school and university projects. CAREER & EDUCATION SEE MY WORK EXPERIENCE AND WHERE I STUDIED PLAY WITH THE BACKGROUND (HOVER THE PLANE!) PLAY WITH THE BACKGROUND (CLICK THE PLANE!) Work Experience Education -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instituto Superior Técnico 2021-12 ⇒ Present Research Investigator / SysAdmin I work in the Networking and Communications Department (NRC) of my University as part of a Research Grant. I investigate and develop new methodologies that enable the management of network infrastructures, which lead to increased availability and network performance, as well as adding new services to the IST community. I install, maintain and administer network equipment, namely Ethernet, routers and IPv4/IPv6 firewalls, services with various operating systems and Linux. Superprof / Freelancer 2020-10 ⇒ Present High School Math Tutor As soon as I finished high school and started University, I started working as a Math Tutor, helping students with Math difficulties by offering them online classes. In total, I've given classes to eight different students, ranging from 8th to 12th grade. At first, I used the platform Superprof to find and interact with students, but as my student base grew, I eventually became completely independent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instituto Superior Técnico 2020-10 ⇒ Present Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science I am a Computer Science student at Instituto Superior Técnico, one of the best Engineering Universities. I've already learned or will learn concepts of Computer Science such as: Data Structures and AlgorithmsObject Oriented ProgrammingAnalysis and Synthesis of AlgorithmsOperating SystemsArtificial IntelligenceDatabasesHuman-Computer InteractionComputer NetworksMachine LearningTheory of ComputationSystems Analysis and ModelingCompilersComputer GraphicsDistributed SystemsSoftware Engineering I am one of the top students of my class (as of today, 2022-08-03, I am in the top 8 of a class of ~140 people) and I'm enjoying the course - it has given many opportunities that I surely wouldn't have had in other universities, such as having joined STT, the Cyber Security Team of Técnico, the best Cyber Security team of Portugal, as well as being one of the administrators of the Campus network. HOBBIES & ACHIEVEMENTS KNOW WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED PLAY WITH THE BACKGROUND (ROTATE EARTH & HOVER THE MARKERS!) PLAY WITH THE BACKGROUND Hobbies Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gym - I attend a local gym since June of 2019, after losing a total of 99lbs in the span of a year and three months, by sheer will and in a totally independent way. Since then, I've maintained a healthy lifestyle which I'm really proud of. As I mentioned in my soft skills, I've shared my weight loss project as a way to inspire others to achieve their goals. Video Games - Since I was little, I've always enjoyed playing video games. I've played on different gaming consoles, from the ps2 to the computer, and I like multiple genres. Some of my all-time favorites are: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO)Counter Strike: Source (CSS)DayZ: StandaloneDetroit: Become HumanDon't StarveEnter the GungeonEscape From TarkovGTA VHorizon: Zero DawnLeague of Legends (LoL)Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerMinecraftOutlastRainbow Six: SiegeRed Dead RedemptionThe Last of US 1 & 2Until Dawn This is one of my main motivations to liking new technologies so much. STT - I'm a member of the Cyber Security of IST, STT, since the beginning of the course. The team usually gathers remotely and presentially to play CTF (Capture The Flag) events together. Besides that, the team also does weekly meetings where generally the senior members talk about advanced topics. CTFs & Hacking Platforms - I play CTF (Capture The Flag) events since 2020, when I joined STT, and I study in many hacking platforms, such as CryptoHack (top 7 in the Portuguese leaderboard), Portswigger Academy (completed 64% of the Labs), HackTheBox and TryHackMe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- School Achievements - Throughout high school, I received numerous merit and honor certificates, served as a class delegate and sub-delegate, and was a member of the Students Association in my last year. University Performance - I've had high academic performance during the course. I was in the Merit Board of the first year of my course and my performance was one of the reasons why I was able to join the Research Investigator role at my University. I got the following award: (Touch me, then outside of me!) (Hover me!) Cryptohack Performance - As of today, 2023-02-03, I am the Portuguese Top 7 in the CryptoHack website, one of the best platforms where you can learn about all kinds of cryptography in a gamified way. ECSC 2021 - I was a finalist in the national Cyber Security event CSCPT 21, which gave me the opportunity to go to Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿 to participate in the European event ECSC 2021 as a member of team Portugal. The team placed 7, record-breaking 7th-place finish. I got the following award for participating: (Touch me, then outside of me!) (Hover me!) ECSC 2022 - Like last year, I was a finalist in the national Cyber Security event CSCPT 22, which allowed me to travel to Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹 to participate in the European event ECSC 2022 as a member of team Portugal. Resumos LEIC - I volunteered to write the class notes of the "Computer Networking" course in Resumos LEIC, the class notes' Community website of my Bachelors degree. Hi there! :D I assume you were expecting a good looking animated thing, because that's what you've seen so far, but instead you are seeing this thing. Well, there was supposed to be a gorgeous Earth that spun around, had a red low-polly texture and even had markers on the places I've visited, but... the mobiles couldn't handle it :( But WORRY NOT! I've got you covered! I always have a solution! :D I've implemented a super-fast and super-efficient animated globe that lets you put markers on it AND WORKS ON ANY MOBILE Here's a 2-minute sketch of the globe that I made on my tablet: With this magnificent drawing, you can imagine the fantastic globe! So much better, am I right? :D Alternatively, you can see the Earth on your PC. I bet you will love it (but not more than my drawing). Now, continue scrolling for a final surprise... :) Left-click: rotate, Mouse-wheel/middle-click: zoom, Right-click: pan GET IN TOUCH If you liked what you saw, want to say hi, want to ask a question or give a suggestion, don't hesitate and talk to me! If you are an employer, currently I am not looking for a job, but we can still have a conversation!
