@anujkumar7
I am an offensive security engineer specializing in red teaming and application security.
What I'm looking for
I am an offensive security engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience in red teaming, application security, and dynamic/static analysis, backed by certifications including CISSP, OSEP, and OSCE.
At Expedia Group I delivered deep-dive pentests, red team simulations, and high-impact risk identification across cloud-native environments, led security reviews for new features, triaged bounty reports, and collaborated with product engineering to embed secure development practices.
I have delivered freelance engagements across banking, telecom, and education, performed source-code reviews, developed custom tooling and exploits, and maintained offensive infrastructure; I am also a Top 100 RingZer0CTF player and served as a jury member for a national cybersecurity competition.
I communicate technical risk clearly to engineering and business teams, thrive on validating and remediating high-risk findings, and focus on impactful offensive work that improves secure engineering and resilience in production systems.
