What I'm looking for

I am looking for a Red Team role where I can apply my skills in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and risk management to simulate real-world attacks and enhance security posture.

I am an experienced Intermediate Cyber Security Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on expertise in system administration, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments. I specialize in web/network security, client-side applications, and Android penetration testing. My career has been focused on improving system security through proactive vulnerability assessments, automating configuration processes, and implementing cutting-edge security frameworks and technologies.

I have a proven track record of reducing security incidents by 30% through effective vulnerability assessments, and have developed Python scripts to automate system configuration and deployment, resulting in faster deployment speeds. Additionally, I have ensured 100% PCI DSS compliance and have contributed to optimizing network performance and uptime.

I'm passionate about continuously refining security practices, proactively managing risks, and staying ahead of emerging threats. I thrive in collaborative environments, working alongside forward-thinking teams to ensure robust security systems. I am committed to delivering innovative solutions and contributing to the success of organizations by protecting their infrastructure from evolving cyber threats.

My certifications include Pen Testing 2025, Red Teaming, Web Application Pentesting, and Practical Ethical Hacking. I'm eager to apply my skills and knowledge to support organizations in strengthening their cybersecurity posture and ensuring a secure digital environment.
