I am an expert with 16 years of experience in Linux, networking, cybersecurity, and infrastructure.

My comprehensive hands-on expertise spans:

- CrowdStrike, and more ...
- Cloudflare, and more...
- Okta, and more...
- Fortinet, and more...
- Amazon Linux, RedHat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, and more...
With these technologies, I have created and led architectural designs and architectural reviews. I designed, planned and implemented automation with these services I lead incident responses. I designed, planned and implemented Zero Trust initiatives, and integration of services for authentication with devices posture validation - Cloudflare ZTNA, CrowdStrike, and Okta.
I also run personal projects like HackerClub.Net, tech timeline https://www.antoniofeijao.com/timeline-technology-and-cybersecurity/ and CyberAntonio.com, which are some of my cyber security notes and a JavaScript playground.
Pre-cloud, I earned certifications of Red Hat Certified System Administrator - RHCSA, Cisco CCNA and Cisco CCNP Security - Cisco Firewall Security Specialist.

I bring a wealth of knowledge in designing, troubleshooting and implementing CrowdStrike Falcon, Cloud Security, and Falcon Forensics.
With Cloudflare, I possess deep expertise in custom and managed Web Application Firewall (AWF) rules, rate limiting, payload decryption investigation and reverse engineering, Zero Trust designs, and authentication policies.
My leadership extends to offensive security, penetration testing, mentoring teams, securing serverless and web applications, and delivering deep-dive technical demos.
Outside of work, I am passionate about space physics and scientific exploration. I am an avid runner, swimmer, snowboarder, and Tough Mudder enthusiast.
Though not active on social media, I enjoy technology and history podcasts, as well as a good science-fiction film or documentary.
