What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity specialist and software engineer with hands-on experience in penetration testing, digital forensics, and secure web application development.

My technical toolkit includes Kali Linux, Burp Suite Pro, Metasploit, OWASP tools, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), and programming in JavaScript, Python, and Dart. I build user-focused web apps using React and Tailwind while applying security frameworks such as NIST, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 to operationalize best practices.
I bring collaborative leadership, clear technical communication, and a track record of delivering practical security improvements and production-ready software. I seek roles where I can combine offensive security, cloud security, and secure software engineering to reduce risk and improve resilience.
