About Me

I'm a dedicated Offensive Security Specialist with over 4 years of experience in penetration testing and ethical hacking. My journey in cybersecurity began with a fascination for how systems can be secured by understanding how they can be broken.

I hold the CEH (Practical) certification and have successfully conducted security assessments for organizations across various sectors including finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. My approach combines automated tools with manual exploitation techniques to identify vulnerabilities that automated scanners often miss.

Currently, I'm focused on advanced penetration testing methodologies, red team exercises, and helping organizations build more resilient security architectures through continuous security assessment and awareness training.
