What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles focused on threat research, detection engineering, or offensive security where I can apply automation, improve detection coverage, and collaborate across teams; open to relocation and travel.

I am a cybersecurity engineer and researcher with four years' experience in offensive security, threat research, and vulnerability assessment. I design, test, and tune IPS, integrity monitoring, and log inspection rules, reproduce vulnerabilities using PoCs and Metasploit, and automate QA and detection workflows with Python, Bash, Perl, and Ruby.

I have hands-on experience in penetration testing across web, cloud, mobile, internal networks and AD, and strong familiarity with OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, PTES and NIST methodologies. I collaborate with development and IT teams to create technical reports, execute patch and rule validation cycles, and continuously monitor emerging threats to improve detection coverage and performance.
