Applying Law to Code: A Web Developer's Path into Privacy Engineering

I am a web developer with some years of experience at Sngular. I also hold a Law degree and a Master’s in Legal Practice (LL.M.), though I have never practiced as a lawyer. What has always driven me is building solutions — and finding ways to make the law more efficient through software engineering.

Beyond the intersection of dev and law, I have a deep interest in cybersecurity. I recently completed the VII University Expert Diploma in Reverse Engineering and Malware Intelligence, a specialized program designed by the NICS Lab (University of Málaga) and Google-VirusTotal. This training allowed me to dive into a high-level technical discipline that is essential for understanding today’s digital threats — from supply chain attacks in NPM to data exfiltration techniques that breach privacy at the infrastructure level. Along the way, I’ve been building tools like hulud-party-scanner to put these ideas into practice.

I created this blog to share ideas as I navigate the convergence of these three fields: web development, compliance, and cybersecurity. My goal is to bridge the gap between these silos — exploring how reverse engineering informs legal risk, how compliance integrates into software deployment, and how to protect privacy directly from the system architecture.
