What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a security team where I can run penetration tests end-to-end, deliver clear reports and risk insights, and continuously improve security posture through threat hunting and incident response collaboration.

I’m a penetration tester and cybersecurity professional with over 5 years of information technology and cybersecurity experience. I specialize in penetration testing, security vulnerability assessments, application security, and threat and vulnerability management.

In my recent work at Orient Logic (2023 - 2026), I’ve conducted more than 30+ penetration tests across web application, mobile, infrastructure, networks, and wireless. I use automated and manual techniques to exploit vulnerabilities/misconfigurations, then produce detailed pentesting reports with findings and recommendations.

Earlier, I supported SOC and security operations by monitoring security logs in Qradar and Splunk, investigating incidents, and improving detection by configuring rules and eliminating false positives. With certifications including OSCP and CRTP, I’m driven to help teams address vulnerabilities and strengthen overall security posture.
