What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role focused on penetration testing and cloud/app security, with collaborative teams, growth opportunities, and meaningful remediation impact.

I am a motivated penetration tester and security analyst with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, web and cloud application testing, and incident response. I hold GIAC certifications (GCPN, GWAPT, GPEN, GCIH) and technical training from the SANS Technology Institute.

My background includes practical work as a web developer and a JavaScript instructor, where I built front-end interfaces (React, Vue, Angular), integrated RESTful APIs, and mentored learners and apprentices. I apply methodical recon, scanning, exploitation, and reporting practices across web, cloud, mobile, and infrastructure assessments.

I bring disciplined problem-solving, strong communication, and attention to detail to security engagements, focusing on producing clear, actionable findings and helping teams remediate risks to improve organizational resilience.
