What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can research emerging web/API threats, build detection capabilities, lead SOC/triage efforts, and grow into senior security leadership while contributing to offensive research and vulnerability discovery.

I am an OSCP-certified security researcher and engineer with over eight years of hands-on experience in web application security assessment, exploit development, and vulnerability discovery.

I specialize in protocol-level analysis (TCP, HTTP, TLS), bypassing WAFs, and automating security testing for web and API assets, and I authored CVE-2024-31804.

I have led threat research and detection engineering efforts—building custom detection rules, integrating threat intelligence into SIEM/WAF pipelines, and improving SIEM accuracy through tailored signatures.

I also have a strong background in offensive security activities including penetration testing, CTF competition wins, bug hunting, reverse engineering, and delivering security research publications and conference talks.
