What I'm looking for

I seek offensive security roles where I can lead/red team engagements, build custom tooling, mentor teams, and work collaboratively with SOC/Blue Team to improve organizational security.

I am a dynamic Cyber Security Analyst and penetration tester with over 3 years of hands-on experience performing VAPT across web, mobile, API, cloud and enterprise networks, consistently achieving high client satisfaction.

I have led and mentored offensive security teams, executed Red Team operations including physical intrusion techniques, developed custom hardware and software tools, and engineered AV-evasion payloads to validate real-world security posture.

I hold certifications such as CPENT and LPT, and I am committed to improving defensive posture through detailed reporting, threat modelling, and collaboration with SOC/Blue Team and GRC stakeholders.
