What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead technical penetration tests and red team engagements, mentor teams, drive remediation, and strengthen cloud and application security.

I am an offensive security professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience in penetration testing across application, network, web, cloud, and API domains. I combine Red Team expertise with practical exploit development and reporting to identify vulnerabilities and deliver clear, actionable remediation guidance.

My work includes conducting comprehensive tests using industry frameworks and tools, developing custom exploits in Python, automating exploit deployment, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve security posture. I stay current with emerging threats and maintain standards, policies, and procedures to ensure sustained security improvements.
