What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Security Engineer with a solid background in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and over three years of experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and DevSecOps.

I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to a dynamic organization’s security initiatives.
In my current role as a Security Researcher at HackerOne, I conduct comprehensive security assessments, utilizing tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Metasploit to identify critical vulnerabilities.
