APOLO — BREAKING & BUILDING SECURITY

Curious about how things break
and how to make them safer.

ABOUT ME

I’m Ivan Martinez,
also known as Apolo

Passionate about cybersecurity and software development, I work on medical technology solutions while actively participating in CTF competitions and security research.

My current role at ERNI focuses on developing communication drivers for diagnostic medical devices (POC), using protocols such as HL7, ASTM, and POCT1A to ensure seamless LIS integration.

Outside of work, I engage in platforms like HackTheBox, TryHackMe, and OverTheWire, and apply my skills in real-world infrastructure projects and Red Team labs.
