At Access Softek, I built reusable Python security tooling and custom Burp Suite extensions that replaced repeated manual assessments across 20+ Agile product squads. I turned OAuth 2.0 and JWT attack chains into automated pipeline checks and identified 40+ high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities across web, mobile, and API systems.

At Government Agency (Azerbaijan), I designed a DevSecOps pipeline for 30+ applications and owned the security workstream for an on-premises-to-AWS migration. I also built a STRIDE threat-modeling program across 20+ projects and ran red team operations that informed improvements to SOC detection coverage.
