My expertise lies in web and API penetration testing, vulnerability management, and enterprise-level data protection. I am passionate about safeguarding organizational assets and supporting business continuity through innovative security measures.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented cutting-edge data protection technologies, including DLP, Data Classification, and CASB, securing sensitive information across various platforms. My role at Ernst & Young involved leading comprehensive penetration testing engagements and conducting in-depth vulnerability assessments, providing actionable insights that drive critical decision-making. I am committed to fostering a culture of compliance and risk mitigation within organizations.
