Senior cyber security consultant specializing in application security and DevSecOps, securing web, mobile, APIs, and cloud systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned application security professional with 15+ years securing web, mobile, API, and cloud applications across complex enterprise environments. I focus on secure design and early risk identification through threat modeling and security architecture review, helping teams build safer products from the start.
I have hands-on experience with OWASP Top 10 and end-to-end testing, including DAST, SAST, and IAST, as well as mobile and API security. I also support secure releases by creating CI/CD pipeline capabilities for DevSecOps, using tools like HCL AppScan and Burp Suite to drive reliable, measurable improvements.
As a reliable team leader and client-facing consultant, I work closely with development and DevOps teams to meet both business and security goals. I regularly lead vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT), security remediation planning and execution, and align delivery with standards such as NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA.
