What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on offensive/security role where I can perform VAPT and red teaming, mentor teams, influence security strategy, and work with collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a cybersecurity professional focused on ethical hacking, penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, and network security, with hands-on experience across web, mobile, API, cloud, and Active Directory assessments.

I have led offensive security teams and delivered technical gap assessments, security audits, and remediation guidance while implementing XDR/EDR and firewall strategies to bolster defenses.

My background includes senior and lead roles at multiple firms, extensive freelance engagements, bug bounty successes, and more than 150 national and international penetration testing projects for enterprises and government organizations.

I hold multiple practical and industry certifications (PNPT, EJPT, CNSP, CAP, EHE, API Penetration Tester) and I am committed to continuous learning and clear technical communication to help organizations reduce risk and improve security posture.
