About Me
Offensive Security • Application • Cloud • Network
I am a Web, Network, and Cloud Penetration Tester focused on identifying real-world security risks before attackers exploit them. I approach security from an adversarial mindset—combining manual testing, industry frameworks, and practical exploitation techniques to uncover vulnerabilities across applications, APIs, networks, and cloud environments.
My work emphasizes clarity and impact: translating technical findings into actionable remediation guidance aligned with OWASP Top 10, PTES, and MITRE ATT&CK. I collaborate closely with stakeholders to improve security posture, reduce attack surface, and strengthen defensive controls.
