About Me
Davide Quirillo
Software & Security Engineer | M.Sc. in Computer Science
“Bridging the gap between robust software engineering and proactive security.”
As a Master of Science graduate in Computer Science, I combine a deep theoretical foundation in distributed systems with a hands-on passion for offensive security. My approach is simple: I build resilient systems by thinking like an attacker.
Solving CTFs and researching web vulnerabilities actively drive my Security by Design philosophy. Scalability and performance are meaningless without a secure architecture.
🛠️ Current Focus & Projects
- Open-Source Engineering: Creator and lead developer of Quidalert — a modern open-source solution designed to provide real-time alerts to rescue teams and nearby users, so they can quickly reach those in need.
- Full-Stack Development: Designing high-performance ecosystems using FastAPI and Flutter.
- Cloud & Orchestration: Architecting containerized and Kubernetes-ready environments to ensure scalability and cost-efficiency.
- Security Research: Developing custom tools and scripts to automate vulnerability assessment and strengthen system defenses.
