What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote opportunities where I can apply my offensive security and penetration testing expertise, contribute to challenging security assessments, and grow within a technically strong, collaborative team.

I’m a Senior Offensive Security Engineer and cybersecurity professional with 6+ years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, security engineering, technical leadership, and cybersecurity education.

My experience covers web applications, APIs, external and internal networks, infrastructure, Active Directory, OSINT, social engineering, wireless security, vulnerability validation, and AI/LLM security testing. I have worked across the full security assessment lifecycle, from scope planning and hands-on testing to executive and technical reporting, remediation guidance, and retesting.

I currently work as an Information Systems Penetration Testing Specialist at the LEPL Pension Fund of Georgia. Previously, I worked as a Security Engineer and Penetration Tester at ISSP Georgia and as an Ethical Hacker and Penetration Tester at ClickSolvers. Alongside my technical career, I have also worked extensively as a cybersecurity and penetration testing lecturer.

I hold the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) certification and official authorization from Georgia’s Digital Governance Agency to perform penetration testing.

I’m particularly interested in remote opportunities in Offensive Security, Penetration Testing, Application Security, Red Teaming, and Offensive Security leadership where I can combine deep technical work with problem-solving, research, mentoring, and team leadership.
