Networking /Red Team / Web Security specialist with hands‑on penetration testing expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a red team and web security specialist with hands-on experience in web application security, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments. I conduct manual tests and use tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP to identify and verify security issues.
I apply offensive security methodologies such as OWASP Top 10, PTES, and MITRE ATT&CK for reconnaissance, privilege escalation, persistence, and proof-of-concept exploit development. I maintain a lab environment to safely test attack vectors and new payloads.
I have solid Linux and infrastructure skills, including managing Ubuntu and CentOS servers, configuring web servers, securing SSH, hardening systems, monitoring logs, and applying patches. This infrastructure knowledge helps me both exploit and protect systems in red team engagements.
I prioritize continuous learning through security advisories and capture-the-flag challenges, and I deliver clear, actionable reports with remediation guidance. I am self-motivated and experienced working asynchronously and remotely to support distributed teams.
