What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages learning, and allows me to apply my skills in a collaborative environment.

I am a passionate and results-driven Security Engineer with over 2.5 years of hands-on experience in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). I hold the Certified AppSec Practitioner (CAP) and Certified Security Analyst (C3SA) certifications, and I am currently preparing for the Certified Red Team Analyst (CRTA) to deepen my expertise in offensive security.

My work involves identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities of varying severity—high, medium, low, and informational—across web, Android, and iOS platforms, ensuring robust security for client applications. I specialize in both automated and manual exploitation techniques, blending tools with strategic analysis to uncover complex security flaws and recommend effective, practical mitigation strategies.

In addition to client-focused VAPT engagements, I actively participate in bug bounty programs and was recognized with a $500 bounty for responsibly disclosing a critical vulnerability. I have a solid foundation in web, mobile (Android/iOS) application testing, and have recently been expanding my skill set into Red Team Engineering, driven by a deep passion for offensive cybersecurity and adversary simulation.
