IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an Application Security professional with 6.7 years of experience securing web, API, and mobile applications across enterprise and client environments. I specialize in secure SDLC, SAST/DAST/SCA, manual code review, threat modeling, and penetration testing.
I have led application security assessments, integrated security tooling into CI/CD pipelines, and collaborated with development teams to remediate vulnerabilities, reducing production issues by 40–60% and delivering assessments for 50+ applications across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce.
My approach blends hands-on technical testing, secure architecture reviews, and client-facing consulting — from threat modeling workshops to executive reporting — to embed security into development lifecycles and improve remediation turnaround time.
