@shayreed
I test mobile, macOS, and IoT systems and build secure AI-assisted security workflows.
What I'm looking for
At Visa, I assess and penetration test mobile, macOS, and IoT environments, reproducing findings and translating technical impact into actionable remediation guidance.
I use Burp Suite, Frida, MobSF, Corellium, Wireshark, Nmap, JADX, class-dump, and Kali Linux in repeatable testing workflows. I also develop AI-assisted workflows that accelerate analysis, scripting, reporting, documentation, and solution prototyping while protecting sensitive data.
I've owned development of a secure remote penetration-testing node for IoT devices, combining isolated Linux compute, cellular networking, encrypted remote access, and segmented test infrastructure. I also prototyped Monolith, an Obsidian- and LLM-enabled knowledge system for searchable, connected operational security guidance.
Previously at IGT, I monitored more than 60 Linux-based servers supporting state and national lottery systems, handled failovers and production updates, and coordinated incident resolution across technical teams. I bring hands-on Linux operations, security testing, automation, and CompTIA Security+ and Network+ certifications.
