VINCENZO SOMMA // IT & CYBER PROFESSIONAL
IT Operations Cyber Security London, UK
~$ cat about.md
I'm an IT professional based in London with a strong focus on infrastructure, security, and automation. I thrive in environments where I have genuine ownership — from managing on-prem virtualisation clusters to deploying SIEM solutions and writing the scripts that tie everything together.
My background spans regulated financial services and fast-moving startups, giving me the discipline to work within compliance frameworks and the adaptability to move fast when it matters.
Outside of work I run a multi-node Proxmox VE home lab where I test new tools, break things on purpose, and document what I learn. This site is part of that — a place to share what I'm building, thinking about, and exploring in the world of tech and cyber.
I hold a BSc in Cyber Security from Ravensbourne University, London, and I'm currently working towards the Azure Security Engineer Associate certification.

I'm always happy to talk about infrastructure, security tools, automation, or anything homelab-related. If you're working on something interesting or just want to swap notes, reach out.
I'm particularly interested in connecting with others in the cyber security, IT operations, and open-source tooling space.
