Information Security | Penetration Testing | API Security | Backend Security Engineer
I help businesses identify and remediate security vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, backend systems, and cloud environments before they can be exploited.
What differentiates me from many penetration testers is my background as a Backend Security Engineer and Developer. I don't just find vulnerabilities. I understand why they exist, how they were introduced into the codebase, and how to fix them with minimal impact on your application.
Having built production backend systems using Node.js, Express, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, and AWS, I specialize in uncovering business logic flaws, authorization weaknesses, insecure API implementations, and database security issues that automated scanners frequently overlook.

With over 14 years of cross-industry experience, I’ve built my career on a simple belief: a safe, sustainable, and efficient workplace isn’t a target to reach, it’s a culture to build.

As a NEBOSH International Diploma professional, certified Lead Auditor, and Level 3 Trainer, I bring deep technical knowledge but my true passion is in practical application. I specialize in digitally weaving complex EHS and ESG principles into everyday business processes, creating systems that are not just compliant, but intelligent, user-friendly, and performance-driven. My focus has always been protecting people, preserving the environment, and strengthening business resilience through smart, sustainable innovation.
Now, through my venture EHS and ESG Consultants, I partner with forward-thinking organizations ready to move beyond box-ticking. My mission is to help you build a robust, future-ready foundation for EHS and ESG excellence, transforming requirements into results and risks into long-term value.
