What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my security testing skills while contributing to a collaborative team focused on enhancing application security.

I am a dedicated penetration tester with over three years of experience in security testing across various platforms, including web, network, cloud, and mobile applications. My proficiency in programming languages such as Python, along with my hands-on experience with tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP, allows me to effectively identify and remediate vulnerabilities. I have a strong understanding of OWASP Top 10 and SANS Top 25 vulnerabilities, which I leverage to enhance application security.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted penetration tests and security assessments for clients in diverse industries, including banking and technology. My role involves collaborating with development teams to formulate test plans, prepare detailed reports, and provide remediation support for identified vulnerabilities. I am passionate about educating teams on secure coding practices and ensuring that security is integrated into the software development lifecycle.
