Hi everyone,

My name is Radzivon Ferrigni Dioguardi. I'm based in Bari, Italy, and I've recently completed a two-year ITS Academy specialization in Cybersecurity.

I'm now looking for my first professional opportunity in IT, networking, or cybersecurity.

Since I don't have extensive professional experience yet, I've been focusing on building a solid technical foundation and documenting what I learn.

I thought I'd share a little about my background, what I've been working on, and the kind of opportunity I'm looking for.

My background

I studied Cybersecurity at ITS Academy Apulia Digital in Bari from 2024 to 2026, graduating with a final score of 104/110.

As part of my studies, I completed a five-month internship with Eulogic NT, where I focused on developing my knowledge of networking, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing.

I'm currently continuing my studies through practical exercises and platforms such as Hack The Box and TryHackMe, while preparing for the eJPT certification.

What I've worked on

One of my projects is a centralized Syslog server using Linux and rsyslog.

The goal was to understand how logs can be collected from different systems and managed centrally.

I documented the setup as part of my personal projects on GitHub.

I've also been studying:

  • Linux administration, permissions, and networking
  • TCP/IP, routing fundamentals, ARP, and DHCP
  • Nmap for host discovery and network enumeration
  • Security fundamentals and penetration testing methodology
  • Basic Python and Bash scripting

I know that studying these topics isn't the same as managing real production infrastructure. That's why I want to keep learning in a professional environment.

Learning in public

I maintain a GitHub repository called Cybersecurity Survival Notes.

It contains technical explanations, command references, and study material covering Linux, networking, Nmap, and security fundamentals.

I also created a website so the notes are easier to explore.

Documentation:
https://radz-04.github.io/Cybersecurity-survival-notes/

GitHub:
https://github.com/Radz-04/Cybersecurity-survival-notes

I'm sharing these projects because I think it's more useful to show what I'm learning and building than to simply list technologies on a CV.

What I'm looking for

I'm interested in entry-level opportunities such as:

  • Junior IT Support / Technical Support
  • Junior Networking or Infrastructure roles
  • Junior System Administration
  • Entry-level Cybersecurity or Security Operations

I'm primarily looking for opportunities in Bari, Italy, but I'm also open to suitable remote positions based in Italy.

I'm not looking to present myself as an experienced engineer. I'm looking for a team where I can contribute, develop practical skills, and grow into the role.

If you're a recruiter or work in an IT team with an entry-level opening, I'd be glad to connect.

And if you're an experienced professional reading this, I'd appreciate your perspective:

What would you recommend someone at my stage focus on to become more employable in networking or cybersecurity?
