What I'm looking for

I’m seeking work as a Senior Offensive Security Consultant, applying my offensive and defensive experience across Red, Blue, and Purple team engagements, with a focus on Active Directory exploitation, Azure and Google Cloud attack paths, and EDR/AV evasion.

At Cyderes, I independently scoped and delivered 60+ client offensive security engagements, most executed solo end to end. I test internal, external, network, cloud, API, mobile, and thick-client environments.

On internal Red Team assessments, I’ve achieved engagement objectives in environments defended by enterprise EDR/XDR and active SOC monitoring. I document vulnerabilities and present actionable recommendations to clients.

At Micron Technology LLP, I assisted with network penetration tests and helped develop detection techniques and use cases for the SOC based on test results. I also performed threat hunting and analyzed malware and phishing emails.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I worked in a 24x7 Security Operations Center and was promoted to shift lead within a year. I led incident response to contain and remediate Emotet and Remco RAT malware compromises. I also published GCP-Hound, a Google Cloud attack-path discovery tool, and presented it at SO-CON 2026.
