What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in security.

As an IT Security Engineer and Security Analyst with over four years of experience, I specialize in Application and Cloud Security. My journey has been marked by a commitment to safeguarding digital assets through comprehensive security assessments and innovative solutions. At Proto Global Ltd, I successfully remediated 95% of high-risk vulnerabilities within three months and led initiatives that achieved SOC2, ISO 27001, and GDPR certifications, significantly enhancing client acquisition.

My expertise extends to penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and incident response, where I have consistently delivered results that bolster organizational security. I have a proven track record of developing robust security frameworks and automating compliance tasks, which have streamlined workflows and improved security posture. As an independent security researcher, I have uncovered critical vulnerabilities across various platforms, contributing to the protection of millions of users globally.
