    Hi, my name is Martin and I've been a principal penetration tester since 2011. Over the years, I've worked on a range of projects across Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, and the UK, serving clients from start-ups to global high street names. My focus is on providing a wide range of penetration testing services, including infrastructure, web and mobile applications, APIs, and cloud security assessments. One of the things that sets me apart from other penetration testers is my approach to the work. I've spent years mastering my craft, staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and techniques, and honing my skills. When I take on a project, I bring all of this knowledge and experience to bear, quickly identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities to provide my clients with the information they need to improve their security posture. In addition to my technical expertise, I'm also an excellent communicator. I understand that many of my clients are not technical experts themselves, so I'm always happy to explain complex technical concepts in simple, easy-to-understand language. I work closely with my clients to understand their needs and provide tailored solutions that meet their specific requirements. When it comes to deliverables, I take great pride in producing detailed reports and other materials that provide clear, concise information about the results of my testing. I know that my clients rely on this information to make important decisions about their security, so I always ensure that my reports are accurate, thorough, and actionable. Overall, I'm proud of the work I do as a principal penetration tester, and I'm committed to helping my clients stay safe and secure in an increasingly complex digital landscape. If you need infrastructure testing, web and mobile application testing, or cloud security assessments, please don't hesitate to get in touch – I'd be happy to discuss how I can help. Experience and expertise within the following disciplines: • Web Application Penetration Testing • Mobile Applications Penetration Testing • API Penetration Testing (REST, SOAP, GraphQL) • Thick Client Application Penetration Testing • External Infrastructure Penetration Testing • Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing • Server Build Reviews • Workstation Build Reviews • Mobile Device and MDM Testing • Network Device Security Reviews • IoT Security • Embedded Hardware • Simulated Phishing • Wireless Assessments • Red Team Assessments • AWS Configuration Reviews • Azure Configuration Reviews • Office365 Configuration Reviews

I have a track record of understanding highly technical security issues and being able to convey them to both a technical and management audience.
