What I'm looking for

I’m looking for security work where I can build secure product engineering and cloud IAM tooling, write evidence-led findings, and automate detection/verification so teams ship safer without repeating manual remediation.

I build secure SDLC and cloud security work across identity & access, vulnerability management, and technical risk writing. In my Personal Security Lab and open-source work in Budapest, I’ve built a multi-system lab (Windows, Linux, Active Directory, Docker, pfSense) to reproduce identity, endpoint, network, and application attacks safely.

I also create detection and investigation workflows using Microsoft Sentinel, Sysmon, Sigma, and Azure/AWS tooling, turning incident timelines and evidence into queries, playbooks, and validation. On the security project side, I’ve led threat modelling, code review, and OWASP/ASVS-aligned vulnerability management while mapping data flows, trust boundaries, attacker goals, and abuse cases.
