What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in penetration testing or vulnerability research where I can build automation, mentor peers, and deliver measurable security improvements.

I am an eJPTv2-certified security researcher and penetration tester with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessments, web and network penetration testing, and automated reconnaissance. I have conducted 20+ vulnerability assessments during internships, authored detailed remediation-focused reports, and discovered production vulnerabilities acknowledged by vendor teams.

I build tools and lead labs to scale security operations — authoring ReconForge to automate recon and reduce manual effort by 60%, coordinating an IoT lab with 30+ members, and mentoring peers while organizing CTFs. I combine strong programming skills (Python, Bash, Java) with practical use of industry tooling to deliver repeatable, business-focused security outcomes.
