What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on security roles focused on offensive testing, incident response, and purple teaming within collaborative teams that value learning, mentoring, and improving secure development practices.

I am a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in penetration testing, incident response, and vulnerability management across network, web, mobile, and API environments.

In my current role as an Application Security Engineer I lead offensive security assessments, integrate security into SDLCs, and mentor teams to improve secure development and remediation practices.

I have worked in MSSP and fintech environments performing threat research, SIEM tuning, forensic analysis, threat hunting, and managing security incidents while reducing organizational attack surface.

I am committed to continuous learning and teaching—delivering offensive security training, building labs and CTFs, preparing students for industry certifications, and contributing to security research and tooling.
