Volunteering
INCIBE, Spain's national cybersecurity institute, accredited me as a cyber-volunteer in February 2026, after the training and the programme review. I run awareness workshops for schools, families, associations and educators: school cyberbullying, privacy and digital identity, and fraud for adults. The first two sessions were at a school in Cantabria, one with pupils and one with adults. I think education is the cheapest security control there is.
Hands-on ethical hacking workshop with physical kit: a board with an antenna for the radio spectrum, a pocket analyser and a couple more of the gadgets that fit in a pocket. What helped me most was seeing up close how little it takes to read what a device gives away without meaning to.
Workshop from INCIBE’s cybersecurity entrepreneurship programme, with the industry-news part that tends to be missing when you study on your own. I went to understand how you build something around this, which was the question I had with Argos half-finished.
An information security conference in Asturias. I went as an attendee, and a couple of ideas from it ended up in my own projects. Going to these things is the fastest way to see where the field is actually heading rather than where the internet says it is.

I thought I would have to leave Cantabria to find an opportunity like this, and I see that is not the case: there is a commitment to keeping local talent and even attracting it from outside, which is a sign of the future that awaits this region.
