What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to apply low-level systems knowledge to vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development while continuing to deepen my offensive engineering skills.

I build native C tooling to analyze Windows Portable Executable structures directly in process memory, including validation of DOS headers, e_magic signatures, and NT Header offsets.

Through independent offensive engineering research, I study kernel and user-mode memory exploitation, model ROP chains in Python, and tackle binary exploitation and reverse-engineering challenges in CTF environments.

Experience

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments

Independent Researcher

Kernel & User-Mode Memory Exploitation Labs

Analyzed kernel-mode vulnerability mechanics using HackSys Extreme Vulnerable Driver (HEVD) and studied Non-Paged Pool memory allocations. Designed custom Python exploit frameworks to model ROP chains and bypass DEP.

Lead Developer

Windows Portable Executable (PE) Loader & Parser

Engineered a custom, native C-based binary analyzer to map and validate executable structures in process memory, implementing precise memory management and manual structural parsing logic.
