What I'm looking for

I seek roles emphasizing hands-on offensive security, automation and cloud DevSecOps, with mentoring opportunities and measurable impact on enterprise risk.

I am a Senior Penetration Tester with experience across finance, media and R&D environments, converting real-world hacks into practical training and secure outcomes since 2017. I have reported critical issues to major global brands, led red-team operations, and delivered training accredited by IISP, CREST and GCHQ.

My background includes cloud and on-premises assessments, automated security tooling and dashboards, AD and supply-chain hardening, and translating technical findings into executive risk reporting. I mentor and hire technical staff, oversee external Red Team engagements, and continually push for security automation and measurable vulnerability coverage.
