I lead offensive security teams and build continuous pentesting platforms.
What I'm looking for
I lead Yalla Security's offensive security practice and own OrionAI, an agentic continuous-pentest platform for continuous VA/PT, external attack surface management, and vulnerability management. I build and mentor specialists, define testing methodology and reporting standards, and oversee red team, web, mobile, infrastructure, IoT/OT, and humanoid-robotics assessments.
Previously, I delivered enterprise penetration tests and red team operations at Capgemini and Hacktive Security, including ARM firmware reverse engineering, Active Directory attack-path analysis, EDR-evasion tooling, and live-hardware attack paths. I've disclosed two WordPress-plugin CVEs, contributed to SPartan, spoken at HackInBo and Cyber Frontiers, and bring an earlier software-development background to manual code review and offensive tool building.
