What I'm looking for

I seek remote global roles focused on offensive security/VAPT where I can lead testing, mentor teams, improve security posture, and drive risk-based remediation.

I am a Senior Security Engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), offensive security operations, and defensive security support. I focus on delivering actionable findings and risk-based remediation across web, API, mobile, cloud, infrastructure and network domains.

At Kroll I served as the sole penetration testing point of contact for internal firm services, authored SOPs and playbooks, and led end-to-end pentests that improved enterprise security posture and supported SOC 2 and ISO audit readiness. I develop custom exploits and collaborate closely with Dev, AppSec, Infra and Network teams to ensure SLA-driven remediation.

Previously, I supported healthcare and enterprise clients, handled incident response and L2 SOC operations, triaged 500+ SIR tickets, and published security metrics and knowledge-base content. I maintain proficiency with tools such as Burp Suite Pro, Kali Linux, OWASP ZAP, Tenable, Qualys and SIEM platforms like Splunk and IBM QRadar.

I bring strong stakeholder communication, cross-functional leadership, and a continuous-learning ethos—backed by certifications and recent conference participation—to drive measurable security improvements and mentor junior teammates.
