About.me (en-us) 🇬🇧

Hi There,

My name is Gustavo Magella, and I'm glad to see you here!

I'm a Cloud Security Architect and Cybersecurity Specialist with +15 years of experience.

I've been working on exciting projects and companies worldwide during my career. (You can check this out on "Resume" Area)

I also built a technical community working as an MSP (Microsoft Student Partner | Former) for +7 years and currently as Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) for +5 years (#MVPBuzz).

I'm a teacher, writer (coming soon) and "frustrated" musician (Search for Johnny Castaway on Spotify, Deezer or Youtube – hahaha).

I consider myself a "maker", "thinker", a restless mind that is always searching for "How ALL the things are working?" and trying to thinking outside the box most of the times.

So, that's it! Keep in touch, and stay safe!
