Hacking and Creators

Training will be the tool that will allow you to defend your future. Therefore, we organize a space with conferences with a current theme, where cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and video games will predominate. 

Born in Seville and now a resident of Kraków, Alejandro arrived in Poland on an Erasmus scholarship and decided to settle there after completing his degree in Computer Engineering—despite the freezing weather! With 12 years of professional experience under his belt, his specialization in data analysis took a definitive leap forward in 2017 when he immersed himself in the world of web mining.

Throughout his career, he has led data extraction from over 500 websites, developing a critical ability to transform the noise of the web into high-value structured data. He currently leads a Data Engineering team in Krakow, where he combines strategic vision with people management and workflow organization. When the code and servers give him a break, Alejandro seeks the winning strategy in AoE2: Definitive Edition or on the virtual pitch of FIFA.

After being a national finalist in the “Digital Talent” competition at the age of 17 for designing a video game, he has worked in the industry for more than five years, reaching senior positions and forming part of international teams, including projects for Disney since the age of 18.

At 22, he founded a company in Ireland and pursued an MBA, exploring entrepreneurship from a practical perspective without idealizing the process. His clothing brand project exceeded 2 million views and 9,000 followers on social media before its closure.

Beyond the headlines, “I’m a kid from Alcolea del Río (population 3,500) with ambition, curiosity, and a computer in my hands for as long as I can remember… with the conviction that today anyone can design an ambitious career path from scratch, from their bedroom and regardless of their age.”

In this talk, he shares what is true (and what is not) about entering a creative industry, changing sectors, becoming an entrepreneur, and setting ambitious goals in the real world.

Juan Antonio Ortega has held a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Seville (US) since 2000, has been a professor at the US since 1992, and has been a university professor since October 2016.

He has taught numerous subjects in all university degrees in Computer Science, Doctoral Programs (with Mention of Quality), Official Postgraduate Master’s Degrees, and University-specific Degrees at the US. He has coordinated and continues to coordinate several subjects. He has supervised more than 500 final projects, both at the undergraduate and master’s levels.

His research experience is extensive and quite fruitful. He has been recognized for four six-year periods of research (1996-2002, 2003-2008, 2009-2014, 2015-2020) and has enough publications for a fifth period under current criteria. He has been recognized for a six-year period of transfer and has sufficient merits to obtain several additional periods.

His research areas initially focused on artificial intelligence, the subject of his doctoral thesis, and he later opened up new lines of research in the five Ministry research projects in which he has been the principal investigator for the DPI, TIN, TSI, and FIT programs, serving as coordinator for several of them. As a result of this research, he has co-directed thirteen doctoral theses. He has also been the principal investigator in two Andalusian Excellence projects approved in competitive calls for proposals. He has also participated in several European projects.

The lines of research and transfer are quite fruitful, mainly focused on software engineering and artificial intelligence. More specifically, methods, techniques, and tools of software engineering, artificial intelligence: deep learning, generative adversarial networks (GAN), cloud computing, digital twins, blockchain, healthcare, IT security, data modeling and database design and management, development of management systems for web environments, web systems, distributed systems, design and development of applications for smart mobile devices, electronic signatures, state-of-the-art programming languages, development of audiovisual content management systems, supercomputing, HPC, environmental intelligence, geopositioning, digital twins, health informatics, energy efficiency, and its applications. For several years, he has been working intensively on the application of artificial intelligence solutions to the field of health, focusing mainly on solutions for different types of cancer.

He is the author of more than 70 JCR articles, more than half of which are in the top third of their category. He is the inventor of a commercially exploited international patent, as well as another national patent that has been approved but not yet exploited. In addition, he has other articles in non-indexed journals, conference proceedings, publications in international conferences, and actively participates in prestigious conference program committees and as a reviewer for JCR journals.

He has been Deputy Director of the Higher Technical School of Computer Engineering (four years) and Director of the Andalusian Scientific Computing Center, a position equivalent to Vice-Rector, for fifteen years. Since November 2024, he has been Manager of the Foundation for Research and Development of Information Technologies in Andalusia (FIDETIA).

He is director of the ICT223 IDINFOR research group, which complies with four standards, evaluated and certified by AENOR, including the most important ones on R&D&I and information management: ISO 9001, UNE EN ISO 166002, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001.

He is a reviewer for the National Agency for Evaluation and Prospective Studies (ANEP), as well as for some regional research programs, agencies, and companies dedicated to R&D&I.

He has spent more than three months at HTGW University in Konstanz (Germany), as well as shorter periods at other Spanish and foreign universities.

Another particularly relevant aspect of his career as a researcher is his relationship with the business world. He has directed and actively participated in a large number of knowledge and technology transfer projects in recent years, which, in addition to providing valuable feedback on his research work, has also enabled him to produce a large number of publications.

He is a technical engineer in electronics, a senior technician in industrial design and drafting, and the founder of Future Works, a project through which he develops initiatives related to hardware, technological design, marketing, and events within the gaming and technology sector.

His professional career combines more than three decades of experience in design, technology, and communication applied to the digital industry. He began working in the areas of technical design, electronics, and computer systems, later evolving towards the development of technological projects, marketing campaigns, and the organization of events related to hardware and video games.

Since the early 2000s, he has been actively involved in the modding scene in Spain, winning numerous awards in competitions held at LAN parties and technology events throughout the country. Over time, he moved from competing to promoting initiatives for the community, such as the creation of the Future Modding Tournament, a national modding competition held at different LAN parties around the country.

Throughout his career, he has developed projects, campaigns, and events with numerous international brands in the technology and gaming sector, including NVIDIA, MSI, Corsair, Gigabyte, Cooler Master, NZXT, Bethesda, Riot Games, Activision, Sony, etc., as well as brands that want to have a presence in the PC gaming field, such as Monster and San Miguel, among many others.

Currently, at Future Works, he continues to develop modding and technological design projects in which hardware is transformed into a piece that combines engineering, design, and visual narrative, creating customized systems and experiences for brands, events, and communities in the gaming and technology world.

My beginnings in the world of computing were not by chance. I have always been passionate about technology. In fact, I have been the go-to computer expert for my family and friends.

Although my professional career in the sector is recent, these four years have been very intense. Although my professional career in the sector is recent, these four years have been very intense. My profile is the result of a nice mix of my training and soft skills. I have a degree in Labor Relations and Employment, with a minor in People Management, I am a computer whiz with an Advanced Degree in Web Application Development, and I am currently completing a Master’s Degree in Innovation and Digital Transformation. This combination of skills allowed me to dive right into this world directly as a Scrum Master in generative AI projects, currently at Emergya, an Ayesa company, and previously at NTT Data, bringing together technology and the human factor every day.

When I left the event last year, I had a thought: we talked about cybersecurity, data, code… but we didn’t mention how to organize ourselves so that all of that doesn’t explode! No one talked about methodology. So here I am, for the first time as a speaker in a challenge that I have a lot of respect for, but that I am passionate about. I want to talk about Agility not as a theory, but as that GPS that allows us to recalculate the route in the midst of chaos and transform work groups into high-performance teams.

12 years of experience in computer forensics and OSINT. Passionate about cybersecurity and Python programming. From a very young age I started working in the IT sector and ended up creating my own company, called QuantiKa14. I do different tasks and jobs: DFIR, IT expertise, application development and security auditing. I have also been a speaker at conferences and events such as PyConEs, OpenExpo, Hack&Beers, EastMadHack, Sec/Admin, etc. And I am member 116 and member of the Association of Technological Experts of Andalusia (APTAN).

My divulging side is not only in giving talks, I have also been 4 years as a collaborator in Canal Sur Radio and I have written several opinion and research articles on the Internet that have been published in various media (ElPlural, lamarea.com, etc). In addition, I have written more than 400 articles in my blog. Founder of the most active community in Seville on cybersecurity, Happy Hacking Sevilla and co-organizer of the congress on intelligence, cybersecurity and OSINT, called OSINTCITY.

LinkedIn has a serious problem with fake accounts. During 2022 and part of 2023, several attacks have been perpetrated, many of which originated with fake job offers posted on LinkedIn, and as one of them ended with the theft of more than 500 million in cryptocurrencies. That same year, companies such as Apple, Amazon and Microsoft teamed up to take down nearly a million fake profiles of purported workers from these companies. By the end of 2022 and during the current year, fake profiles with high-level roles, such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Chief Technical Officer (CTO), have proliferated. LinkedIn users have known for years that fake profiles exist on the social network and are aware of scam and phishing attacks via messages sent by LinkedIn. Today, attacks are becoming more elaborate and sophisticated, and LinkedIn is not doing a good job of eliminating, slowing down or stopping these types of attacks, as attackers are using today’s technology, such as images and content generated by artificial intelligence. During this talk we will look at what type of technology attackers are using to generate fake content on LinkedIn and how companies can defend against, detect and eliminate these targeted attacks. This will include guidelines on how to assess company health on LinkedIn, as well as practical examples of how to extract company and employee information in a fully automated way. During the talk, examples of fake profiles will be shown, as well as several real-time demos on profile capture, extraction, evaluation and mass profile detection.

My beginnings in the world of IT and technology started in the field of SysAdmin. My first work experience in this field was in an international engineering company, where I was able to observe and participate in the internal processes that organizations follow to manage their technology infrastructure. Although I was passionate about the world of SysAdmin, I was always a cybersecurity geek, which led me, after a year, to make the leap to Digital Forensics through computer forensics, working in a firm specializing in computer forensics and forensic analysis.

During my time in the forensic sector, I discovered how passionate I was about investigations, which motivated me to move on to a new challenge: working in DFIR in large corporate environments. I left the forensics field to fully embrace the challenging and exciting discipline of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), joining a cybersecurity consulting firm, Deloitte, where I currently work. This discipline combines investigative skills with team management capabilities, resources and technical expertise essential for responding to cyber incidents and investigating post mortem incidents.

During my short but intense experience at DFIR, I have worked on the front lines of ransomware, web exploits, fraud, phishing, insider threats and corporate analysis, helping companies identify how they were exposed, protect their assets and recover from attacks. In my current role as Senior Cyber Security Analyst at Deloitte, my day-to-day is focused on team management, investigations and cyber incident response, covering Windows, Linux, iOS and Android systems. I apply the fundamental principles of DFIR, including gathering and preserving evidence, interpreting key data, and writing technical and executive reports to mitigate risks, understand what happened, and improve the organizations security posture.

Alcolea Party will be my first experience as a communicator, a great personal and professional challenge, as it is not exactly one of my strong points. However, I am motivated by the idea of sharing first-hand what day-to-day incident response is like, as well as transmitting my experiences, the knowledge I have acquired and my perspective on how to deal with them.

Industrial engineer with a binary heart.

Since I was very young I was very interested in computers. I remember watching Jurassic Park and what I liked the most was to see the park programmer manipulating the gates from his computer. I know, he was the bad guy but I liked it when he typed and things happened. It was magic to me.

My first computer was a Pentium 200 MMX with Windows 95. I was 15 years old. I had to learn how to format it because I often crashed it by tinkering in the system32 directory. I had access to the internet for the first time when I entered university and started participating in forums and delving into software development.

Over the years, that passion has been kept alive, leading me to create practical solutions in my day-to-day life by combining software and hardware.

For more than twenty years, I have been working and reinventing myself incessantly in areas and technologies related to IT and cybersecurity, while leading the systems department of INERCO Corporation where I am still in charge today.

I organized several editions of “Alcolea Party” a technological event where the culture of ethical hacking was promoted through conferences and challenges in the first decade of the twenty-first century.

I was in charge of the non-profit association TIC FUTURAMA, with which we organized and collaborated with other technological events also related to cybersecurity.

Graduate in information technologies, master in cybersecurity, MBA, and technological certifications (Microsoft – Comptia – EC-Council…), although only for having “something more in the CV”, as I am an advocate that knowledge is the sum of what has been studied and practiced.

I am a member of the CHFI committee at EC-Council, where I collaborate with a team of experts in certifications.

I am the leader of the Unreal Engine community in Seville; an amazing tool for creating virtual environments (in short) and that I use in my free time to create videogames.

Author of the book “Cuentos para mini hackers”, where I seek to help, teach, and show in a close way how cybersecurity is presented in the life of any person and how the little ones can assimilate it and be protected for a future where technology will be the protagonist, and they must be ready.
