What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in security and backend development while fostering a collaborative team environment.

As a dedicated Security Engineer with a strong foundation in backend development, I have honed my skills in creating secure and scalable web applications. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems, followed by the acquisition of the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification, which has equipped me with advanced techniques for identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.

In my recent role at ZenHR, I led efforts to achieve SOC2 compliance, collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance security measures. My technical expertise includes proficiency in Ruby on Rails, Redis, Elastic Search, and PostgreSQL, which I have utilized to develop complex backend solutions. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize security and efficiency.
