Results-driven penetration tester with expertise in offensive security.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven security professional with extensive experience in executing full-scope penetration tests across various platforms, including Active Directory, internal networks, APIs, and web applications. My proficiency in vulnerability assessment and social engineering allows me to identify critical security issues effectively. I leverage industry-standard frameworks such as OWASP Top 10 and PTES, utilizing a wide range of offensive security tools to simulate real-world attack scenarios and enhance organizational security posture.
Currently, I work as a Penetration Tester at Mandatly Inc., where I have successfully conducted end-to-end penetration tests, identifying vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. My leadership in phishing campaigns and security audits has significantly improved security awareness and reduced attack surfaces. I am also passionate about sharing my knowledge, having delivered workshops on API Security and Active Directory Penetration Testing, contributing to the cybersecurity community.
