I am Álex Rodríguez Pérez, an 20 year old Cybersecurity student who has always been playing around with computers and programming. In my github you will find everything that I do during my degree, Hackathons, Personal projects and much more! If you like what I do feel free to give some stars, follow me or contact me if you need something!
I am currently studying at 42 Barcelona, part of the 42 Network, considered to be the most innovative coding school worldwide. Here you can see how am I doing there👇
| 42 Project | Subject | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| libft | intructions | 100 |
| ft_printf | instructions | 100 |
| born2beroot | instructions | 125 |
| get_next_line | instructions | 100 |
| minitalk | instructions | 100 |
| push_swap | instructions | 86 |
Aside from studying Software Development at 42 Barcelona, I am also studying UNIR's Cybersecurity Major, where I am learning about cybersecurity formally. In this set of Repositories I'll be uploading some tasks that I find interesting or even some notes, still thinking about it.
As a competitive student and someone who loves challenges, I am always signing up for Hackathons and Coding challenges, so in this section you will see all the work I did in those competitions and also how they ranked (If available)
High School Big Data Challenge (STEM Fellowship)
👉 This competition focused on giving solutions aiming to solve SDG 7 (Afordable and Clean Energy). Along with my teammate, Andrei Dumitrache, we created a Genetic Algorithm from scratch that could find the optimal combination of 3 renewable energy resources 🌱 that could give the most energy without overpassing a given budget 💰.
We submitted our code along with a paper explaining our solution, how and why we decided to do everything we decided to do. We were awarded with the 2nd Place Hunter Hub University of Calgary Entrepeneurship Award and 3rd Place Let's Talk Science Analythics Award
You can find the repo with all the code and our submitted paper here and the official competition's webpage
Datathon FME 2022
👉 This hackathon, organized by the faculty of math and statistics of UPC (FME) and the Asociation of Data science (AED) aimed to give Data Science solutions to real challenges given by real businesses such as Accenture or Qualcomm.
Our team 👨💻 , composed by freshman students from the Data Science Major and Computer Science Major worked hard to give a feasable solution to the challenges 🔨 propposed by the sponsors.

Cybersecurity is the field of computer science I like the most. It requires deep understanding on almost every topic of computer science in order to know how things can be used in a way they are not intended to. It also requires to think creatively 🎨 to find those unexpected behaviours, or to fix them 🔧. This, and many other things are what makes me love so much cybersecurity and thus, it deserves a space here. Those are some of the programming projects I developed (will be updated since most of them have to be recovered from a broken computer) 💻
I also have a blog! You can check it out here
SecureFolders
When I first started to investigate about cybersecurity and learning things, I felt eagger to develope something that could help making computers a bit more secure. At that time I still had few knowledge about the field, but anyways, I created this program called Secure Folders which aimed to make folders only accesible with a password. This is not quite the case since anyone could bring the folder back to normal again without authenticating, but still, I feel proud of what I was able to do 💪. This repo contains all the code I wrote, both graphical and non graphical versions.
As a curious person I'm always learning new things. On this section of my github you will find the notes I take on every thing I study on my own such as prepparation for certifications, experience-based learning or online courses I take just for fun. Each note section is a github repository with all relevant information and the actual notes. Here you will find just an index of them and the links to those repos.
Ransomware Forensics Workshop
This was a workshop organized by 42 Barcelona and Central IP, a cybersecurity consulting company 👮♂️. In this talk we were able to analyze several real-case ransomware atacks and the way they gained acces to the computers and executed that ransomware 🔐. We also took a look at the criminal organzations that was behind them and how they were structured based on the Bitcoin payment trail 💰.
It was a really interesting workshop to know how ransomware worked and how it was introduced into companyes, as well as looking into the criminal structure.
