What I'm looking for

I'm looking for full-time, part-time, or project-based work in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, embedded and hardware security, firmware security, or application security. I'm open to remote or hybrid work, relocation, and business trips.

I've audited embedded devices and firmware at NEK TEKH, securing three product lines responsible for about 1.5 million units shipped in 2025. I identified nine critical and high-severity issues, remediated all of them within a week, and co-designed signed, encrypted firmware updates.

Across five-plus years as an independent contractor, I've delivered 10+ embedded security and reverse-engineering projects. My work includes analysing industrial controller firmware, building proof-of-concept exploits, and creating a 10 ns STM32F4 pulse generator for fault-injection research.

At INFORION, I analysed binaries and firmware across ARM64, MIPS, and x86, found three vulnerabilities, and developed a working PoC exploit for each. I also helped recover a project frozen for more than a year and delivered my part six months ahead of deadline.

I work hands-on across firmware, hardware, protocols, and cryptography—from IDA Pro and Ghidra to side-channel analysis, JTAG/SWD, secure boot, smart cards, and secure update design.
