About Me

Ciro Guida

IT professional with a multidisciplinary background spanning embedded Linux systems, AI development, networking, and field technical operations currently based in Australia and open to international opportunities.

My hands on experience ranges from configuring production grade GPS/GNSS infrastructure to building AI powered pipelines and automation workflows. I recently completed a contracted deployment involving a fleet of ZED-F9P u-blox GNSS units (1 base station + 4 rovers) on Linux: recovering lost sudo access without data loss, deploying and licensing an NTRIP caster for RTK correction, setting up SSH based remote access, building a custom data pipeline to a client dashboard, and implementing the team’s first git based configuration backup system.

On the software side, I hold an IBM AI Developer Professional Certificate (Coursera) and am Cisco certified in computer science fundamentals. I work across Python, Bash, C/C++, Java, and SQL from computer vision systems to automation tooling. Currently deepening expertise in AI, industrial automation, and cybersecurity, actively studying for the HTB CJCA (Hack The Box Certified Junior Cybersecurity Associate).

HTB Certified Junior Cybersecurity Associate (CJCA)

In Progress

Hack The Box · Online

2025 – Present

Studying for the HTB CJCA a fully hands on, practical certification from Hack The Box Academy aligned with NIST and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks. Covers both offensive (vulnerability identification, exploitation, penetration testing methodology) and defensive (SIEM assisted monitoring via Elastic Stack, log analysis, threat detection) domains. The exam is 100% practical: a gray box pentest against a live network segment, followed by SIEM alert validation and a professional grade security assessment report. No multiple choice you either hack it or you don't.

Mar 2026

Contracted to configure a fleet of GPS/GNSS hardware (ZED-F9P u-blox NUC, 1 Waveshare base station and 4 Waveshare rovers) running on Linux. Recovered sudo access on all machines without any data loss after the client lost admin credentials. Deployed and configured an NTRIP caster with new licence for RTK correction data. Set up SSH access across all rover units, replacing the previous Putty only workflow. Built a custom data pipeline routing all rover output to a client dashboard. Implemented the company's first git based backup system.
