What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional specializing in application security testing, focused on safeguarding organizations through the proactive identification of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in applications and systems. I leverage up-to-date techniques to detect and mitigate issues efficiently, helping maintain robust security postures that protect critical assets and data. I am eager to be challenged to grow and further improve my skills.

I collaborate with DevOps, Cloud, and IT teams and external vendors to drive timely remediation, translating findings into actionable risk reports for senior management and compliance stakeholders, including ISO, NDPR, and PCI-DSS. I also spearheaded automation—implementing an automated penetration testing platform, integrating SAST into CI/CD, and adopting an automated threat modeling solution—to enable continuous, Security-by-Design assessments from ideation through production, supported by manual verification and secure code reviews using tools like Burp Suite, Qualys, and Postman.
