My name is Nicky Jacobs, born on Curaçao and currently based in the Netherlands. I work as a Security Analyst at PQR, operating within a Security Operations Center.
I'm actively building security automation, attack tooling and defensive tooling. This includes an AI-powered cybersecurity agent that autonomously orchestrates Kali Linux tools, analyzes output and maps findings to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. I use Kali Linux daily for beginning bug bounties focused on VDP organizations and I run CTF machines on TryHackMe and HackTheBox when I get the chance.
At home I run a Proxmox cluster as my homelab, hosting Docker containers, n8n for automation, Wazuh for security monitoring, MISP for threat intelligence, test endpoints and more. I self-host my entire home network with UniFi. For knowledge management I use Obsidian with a hybrid Zettelkasten and MOC setup. My development workflow is Claude Code on Mac and Kali, paired with Cursor as my editor.
Outside of security I enjoy festivals with friends, traveling to new countries, visiting museums and art galleries, and working out. My go-to podcast is Risky Business by Patrick Gray and I keep up with the field through WIRED, NCSC and Darknet Diaries.
