Mukhammad Shokarimov
@mukhammadshokarimov
Information Security & IT Consultant focused on PAM, VPN security, and vulnerability mitigation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Information Security & IT Consultant who helps organizations design secure systems and reduce real-world risk. I author detailed technical specifications (TOR) for complex IT and InfoSec projects and drive full-cycle development and deployment.
In recent roles, I’ve led security initiatives across networks and perimeter defenses. I managed FortiGate routing, rule sets, and Virtual IPs via FortiManager, implemented PAM solutions for secure connectivity, and configured MikroTik IPsec tunnels with VLAN segmentation.
I also deploy secure remote access and harden access pathways with OpenVPN and privilege controls. At the same time, I resolve networking and firewall issues (including DHCP errors) and eliminate both intra-company and external security weaknesses, including digital forensics work.
My technical focus spans PAM and secret management—such as Teleport, JumpServer, and HashiCorp Vault in high-availability setups—plus proactive testing. I’ve conducted penetration tests using tools like OpenVAS and Metasploit, and I’ve piloted Threat Intelligence and Cisco FTD projects to identify and mitigate internal and external vulnerabilities.
