Hi there, I’m Yamil Esquivel 👋

Software Developer transitioning to Cybersecurity | Focused on Secure Coding, Automation, and Threat Analysis

🛡️ About Me

I am currently pivoting my career toward Cybersecurity. My goal is to leverage my programming expertise to build security tools, automate analysis tasks, and advocate for “Secure by Design” principles in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

• 🔭 Current Project: Developing a cash reserve tracking application, actively implementing security best practices in database management and authentication.
• 🌱 Learning Focus: Python for security scripting, networking fundamentals (TCP/IP), and hands-on Linux labs.
• 🏠 Home Lab: Setting up a virtualized environment to practice network traffic analysis and system hardening.
• 💬 Ask me about: Java, Spring Boot, SQL, and how to apply security controls within software development.
• ⚡ Fun fact: When I’m not in front of a terminal, I love disconnecting by going trekking 🥾.
