I am skilled in conducting comprehensive security assessments and developing custom security tools using Python and Bash, which have significantly enhanced testing workflows.

In my current role as a freelance Security Engineer, I perform in-depth penetration testing and vulnerability assessments for blockchain and crypto platforms. My expertise in cloud security, particularly within AWS environments, has allowed me to implement best practices that reduce attack surfaces effectively. I am passionate about continuous learning and cybersecurity research, and I seek to leverage my technical expertise in roles such as Penetration Tester, Security Engineer, or Cybersecurity Consultant to strengthen organizational security.
