    "summary": "\"I got a dream that is worth more than my sleep.\" \n\nPassionate about technology and it's inner-workings and constantly looking to understand the details that make it work the way it does. This and also how to break it, alter it, make it do what I want it to do. That is why I chose to be a security professional, so I can bring my contribution and sustain the information flow that fuels the big decisions, the great dreams and the bold goals. Because without trust ambition and change are just some words. \n\nMy goal is to keep developing my skills, both technical and non-technical, so I can be up to speed with the fast-paced Information Security domain. I am aiming to use these skills for delivering trust and reliability as a foundation for the business environment. \n\nhttp://horia.pro/",
