What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging and growth-oriented role in a security-focused team.

I am an analytical and results-driven Penetration Tester with proven expertise in web application security, internal and external assessments, and red team simulations. My experience includes developing custom enumeration tools, managing secure environments, and delivering actionable vulnerability reports. I am proficient in scripting with Python and Bash, and I excel in offensive security techniques while effectively communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Currently, I serve as a Web Application Security Engineer at Optisec in Abuja, where I lead the design, development, and implementation of secure web applications. I regularly perform penetration tests and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate security flaws, ensuring that secure coding practices align with industry standards such as the OWASP Top 10. My freelance work on Upwork has allowed me to conduct various penetration testing assessments, delivering detailed reports with remediation steps and simulating real-world threat scenarios.
