What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging Application Security role focused on Web, Mobile (Android/iOS), and API Security Testing. Experienced in Penetration Testing, SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, Secure Code Reviews, and Vulnerability Assessments. Passionate about identifying security risks, validating fixes, and helping build secure applications.

I’m a Certified Information Security Professional with 5+ years of experience in Application Security and Penetration Testing across web applications, mobile (Android & iOS), and APIs. I run end-to-end security assessments—Black-Box and Grey-Box Testing, Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT), plus secure remediation validation—while helping teams improve their overall security posture.

At Fidelity National Financial and previously at Indusface and qSEAp Infotech, I’ve conducted SAST, DAST, IAST, and SCA integrated into CI/CD pipelines to strengthen software supply chain security. I collaborate closely with development teams to analyze findings, apply OWASP Top 10 mitigations, and ensure fixes are properly implemented and re-tested before release, with hands-on expertise using tools like Burp Suite, MobSF, Frida, Fortify, SonarQube, GitHub Advanced Security, Mend, Snyk, and Contrast Security.
