What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a red team or penetration testing role.

At SafeX Solutions, I’m applying red team methodology to lab targets, from reconnaissance and exploitation to documented reporting. I’m currently working on the offensive security track.

At Cyberster, I ran attack-and-detect exercises in an isolated Kali Linux and Metasploitable 2 lab, documenting each engagement as an Attack / Detection / Remediation chain. I also tested web, API, and AI targets and deployed Suricata rules validated against live attacks.

At Secure Dev Labs, I was named Top Intern in Ethical Hacking Batch 3 and scored 100/100 on the final assessment. I built a grey-box lab, gained root through three independent vectors, and delivered a CVSS-scored penetration testing report with phased remediation.

My projects include NightWatch SOC Portal, a multi-stage CTF lab, and tools for reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, and log analysis. I’m seeking a red team or penetration testing role.
