What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in cybersecurity, work in a collaborative environment, and contribute to innovative security solutions.

I am a dedicated Cyber Security professional with over 5 years of progressive experience in Vulnerability Assessments, Penetration Testing, and Vulnerability Management. My journey in this field has equipped me with the skills to manage security projects effectively, lead teams, and significantly improve security postures for various organizations. I have a proven track record of spearheading Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) projects, resulting in a remarkable 61% reduction in identified vulnerabilities. My expertise extends to application security, security automation, and threat modeling, where I have successfully implemented proactive security measures to mitigate risks.

In my recent role as a Senior Security Engineer at Ernst & Young LLP, I led External Attack Surface Management (EASM) initiatives that enhanced client security by identifying and mitigating external threats. I orchestrated Purple and Red Teaming exercises, which improved vulnerability mitigation strategies and increased resolution efficiency by 33%. My commitment to fortifying client assets through diligent cybersecurity practices has not only bolstered trust in services but also ensured a holistic response to emerging threats. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and have taken on the role of an Elite Mentor, training and guiding cybersecurity enthusiasts in Bug Bounty Programs and Penetration Testing.
