Cybersecurity professional specializing in Red Team, Penetration Testing and Digital Asset Protection.
What I'm looking for
I am an offensive security professional specializing in red team operations and adversary emulation, with 4+ years of experience simulating real-world threat actors to strengthen organizational defenses. I excel in conducting covert operations, developing malware evasion techniques, and executing advanced attack chains that combine technical expertise with operational security to achieve mission objectives.
My core capabilities include adversary simulation using APT tactics, EDR/AV evasion through custom development in C, post-exploitation and lateral movement in enterprise environments, and automated tooling development in Python and Bash for reconnaissance and analysis workflows. I have hands-on experience planning and deploying command-and-control infrastructure, including C2 server configuration, redirector setup, and operational security measures that ensure persistent and covert access during engagements.
I bring a results-driven mindset, practical experience in offensive automation, and commitment to continuous skill advancement in emerging red team techniques and threat landscapes.
