I uncover web, API, network, and infrastructure vulnerabilities to strengthen cybersecurity defenses.
What I'm looking for
At Cognizant Technology Solutions, I conduct web application, API, network, and infrastructure penetration testing, assessing risk against OWASP Top 10 and MITRE ATT&CK. I deliver CVSS-based findings and actionable remediation recommendations using tools including Burp Suite, Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Wireshark, and Qualys.
I've responsibly reported a reflected XSS vulnerability to Linktree through Bugcrowd and earned a Linktree Hall of Fame recognition. I also coach and train 15 cybersecurity agents, contribute as a security SME and quality-control expert, and research advanced attack vectors and post-exploitation methods.
