What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead penetration testing and incident response efforts, work closely with DevOps and developers to harden systems, and grow in cloud and application security within collaborative, security-focused teams.

I am a cybersecurity professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, incident response, and vulnerability management across web, API, mobile, and network environments. I have led black- and grey-box tests and helped identify and remediate hundreds of vulnerabilities.

My practical toolbox includes Kali Linux, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Metasploit, FFUF and SIEM platforms, and I automate testing through Python and JavaScript to increase coverage and repeatability. In recent roles I drove CI/CD hardening and integrated automated scans that reduced attack surface and recurring risks.

I collaborate closely with developers and DevOps to convert findings into prioritized remediation, authored post-incident reports to improve response protocols, and remain open to relocation and remote opportunities internationally.
