What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my cybersecurity skills in challenging environments, focusing on vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, while fostering a culture of security awareness and continuous improvement.

I am a Senior Cyber Security Consultant and Bug Bounty Hunter with extensive experience in web, Android, and network application penetration testing. My expertise lies in vulnerability assessments and cyber-threat analysis, where I utilize both Grey and Black Box methodologies to identify and address security events promptly. I have a proven track record of achieving Hall of Fame status and receiving bounties from top companies such as Google, Apple, and IBM, showcasing my ability to identify critical vulnerabilities in various applications.

Currently, I manage VAPT projects at Paramount Computer Systems in Doha, Qatar, where I lead a small team in performing SAST and DAST penetration testing, particularly in the banking and government sectors. My previous role at Arita Solutions involved conducting comprehensive web application penetration tests and infrastructure assessments, where I provided actionable recommendations for remediation. I am passionate about enhancing security measures and ensuring high standards of cybersecurity across diverse industries.
