What I'm looking for

I want to build secure, user-friendly web applications with teams that practice security-by-design. I’m excited to deliver reliable features end-to-end, run penetration testing to reduce risk, and use dashboards/analytics to guide decisions in agile delivery.

I’m a self-employed Web Developer and Security Analyst who builds secure, scalable, user-friendly applications end-to-end. I combine strong development skills in Python, SQL, Django, Flask, and React with practical web security—so security is built into the workflow, not bolted on later.

In my freelance work (2023–present), I designed and deployed secure websites, integrating e-commerce, SEO, and branding. I customized WordPress themes and plugins for performance and accessibility, and I also delivered ongoing technical support, system monitoring, and cybersecurity awareness training.

I’m equally comfortable testing and hardening systems. I run penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, identify and patch weaknesses, and support compliance monitoring through clear reporting—while also using data analysis tools like Tableau and Power BI to create real-time dashboards.
