I deliver high-impact penetration testing and vulnerability validation for secure web, API, and Android systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Security Engineer focused on end-to-end penetration testing across web applications, APIs, desktop environments, and Android platforms. In my current role, I lead engagements across 40+ applications, uncovering critical issues like authentication flaws, access control weaknesses, and injection vulnerabilities.
I perform risk-based vulnerability assessments on 50+ web and infrastructure components, validating findings through manual exploitation to keep accuracy high with minimal false positives. Using OWASP Testing Methodology and OWASP Top 10 standards, I systematically identify and validate security gaps, then retest 100+ vulnerabilities to confirm remediation and reduce residual risk.
I also own stakeholder-ready security reporting—authoring 50+ penetration testing reports with risk ratings, proof-of-concept details, and actionable remediation guidance. I improve security operations by automating scan reporting workflows, spearheading vulnerability scanning initiatives with Qualys, and mentoring 50+ developers on secure coding practices.
