What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my expertise in cyber security and penetration testing to drive business growth and improve organizational security.

I'm a Penetration Testing Specialist with over five years of experience in the cybersecurity field. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s degree in Information Security, along with advanced certifications like EWPTX (eLearnSecurity Web Application Penetration Tester eXtreme) and EMAPT (eLearnSecurity Mobile Application Penetration Tester). Throughout my career, I've worked on more than 100 security projects, some for companies with revenues exceeding $5 billion.

Currently, I work as a Security Consultant in Dubai. My expertise spans mobile, web, and API penetration testing, focusing on delivering comprehensive vulnerability assessments and ensuring robust security for various industries. I also have hands-on experience with tools like Burp Suite Professional, Nessus Pro, Metasploit, Frida, Jadx, and Apktool, among others.

In addition to my technical skills, I am preparing to obtain CREST certification by early 2025, as I continue to stay updated on the latest cybersecurity threats and trends.
