At Weblabs IT Solutions, I integrated SonarQube, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, and Burp Suite into GitLab CI/CD pipelines to secure multiple production applications before deployment. I also reduced AWS hosting costs for 9+ applications from $452 to $39 per month through infrastructure consolidation and optimization.

I conduct manual penetration testing and vulnerability assessments against OWASP Top 10 risks, document findings with CVSS-based evidence and remediation guidance, and work directly with developers to validate fixes before release. I led containment and remediation for a ransomware-class incident affecting a Next.js application, coordinating emergency patching, network segmentation, and root-cause analysis without data loss or SLA breach.

Previously at HashTek Solutions, I built React.js and Next.js applications, automated AWS deployments, and improved reliability through Nginx, SSL, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, log analysis, and deployment validation. I enjoy building secure, repeatable cloud delivery workflows that make releases faster and safer.
