What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in red teaming, malware research, or penetration testing where I can apply Windows internals expertise, improve SOC detection, and build practical defensive controls.

I am a cybersecurity enthusiast with a strong grasp of both code and compromise. I develop Windows-based malware, write C++ programs that interact with core APIs, and analyze systems from a kernel-level view.

I generated malware samples with different capabilities for Windows using C++. I have worked on Application Security, Network security, Reverse engineering and malware analysis.

I perform penetration testing, uncover weaknesses across networks and applications, and enhance SOC alerts for real-world threats. I authored numerous challenges in Cyber for students to easily understand underlying security concepts and created and maintained lab environments for launching CTFs on AWS and VMWare environments.

I hold practical certifications including Hack The Box - Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (CPTS), Altered Security - Certified Red Team Professional (CRTP), and Comptia Security+. My projects include SHELL BOT, CyberWhiz, WINAPI REPOSITORY, and a ML-backed proxy-based web application firewall, reflecting a blend of offensive research and defensive tooling.
