What I'm looking for
I'm a cybersecurity-focused Cloud engineer and penetration tester with extensive expertise in network security, web application security, and DevSecOps. My experience includes securing backend services and APIs using Golang, implementing OWASP best practices, and conducting thorough API penetration testing on Golang-based microservices. I have a strong background in cyber threat intelligence and incident response, which allows me to identify and mitigate security weaknesses effectively.
Throughout my career, I have managed AWS security policies, applied VPC isolation, and enforced IAM role-based access controls. My hands-on experience includes conducting continuous cloud security assessments and vulnerability scanning across cloud services. I am dedicated to ensuring the resilience of modern digital infrastructures through proactive security measures and automated CI/CD security checks.
