Hailing from India, my family and I have proudly established Germany as our home. Up until 2021, I was actively contributing to the industry, after which I strategically took a pause to prioritize personal commitments.

# ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, GRC, AI GOVERNANCE AND AUDIT READINESS I help SaaS, technology, fintech, marketplace and service companies become audit-ready for ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2 readiness, EU AI Act readiness, ISO 42001 readiness, security questionnaires, vendor risk, AI governance and GRC documentation. Many companies have policies, procedures and security documents, but struggle to prove they are followed. The same problem now exists with AI: teams use AI tools, but often lack ownership, risk assessment, approval workflows, monitoring and evidence. That is where my work creates value. My focus is simple: * Requirement * Risk * Policy * Control * Process * Evidence * Monitoring * Audit Readiness This makes your compliance and AI governance program easier to manage, explain and defend during audits, customer reviews, vendor checks and AI risk reviews. # WHAT CLIENTS HIRE ME FOR * ISO 27001 AND ISMS SUPPORT - ISMS documentation - ISO 27001 readiness - Gap assessments - Control mapping - Risk treatment tracking - Evidence review - Management review input * AI GOVERNANCE, ISO 42001 AND EU AI ACT READINESS - AI governance documentation - ISO 42001 readiness support - EU AI Act readiness support - AI system inventory - AI use case register - AI risk assessment structure - AI impact assessment support - AI control mapping - AI vendor risk review - AI approval workflow - AI monitoring and evidence structure - Responsible AI documentation * GDPR, PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION - GDPR documentation - Privacy process reviews - Vendor privacy checks - Data protection evidence - Regulatory requirement mapping - Privacy risk documentation - Legal and privacy requirements translated into controls * GRC PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - Compliance obligation registers - Regulatory change tracking - Control libraries - Risk registers - Remediation trackers - Audit plans - Evidence repositories - Policy lifecycle management - KPI and KRI tracking - Management reporting * RISK ASSESSMENT AND VENDOR RISK - Information security risk assessments - Compliance risk workshops - Vendor risk reviews - AI vendor reviews - Control self-assessments - Outsourcing risk reviews - Third-party risk documentation - Remediation planning * AUDIT AND EVIDENCE PREPARATION - Audit planning - Evidence collection - Evidence review - Interview preparation - Control testing documentation - Audit finding analysis - Corrective action tracking * POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND QUESTIONNAIRES - Information security policies - AI governance policies - Access control procedures - Incident response documentation - Business continuity documentation - Vendor risk procedures - Data protection documentation - Control narratives - Audit reports - Decision records - Security questionnaire responses # WHY WORK WITH ME Auditors, customers and management do not only want policies. They want ownership, working controls, traceable evidence, measurable follow-up and proof that the process is followed. With AI, companies need to know which AI tools are used, who owns them, what data they process, what risks exist, what approvals are required, what controls are in place and what evidence proves responsible use. I translate regulatory, security, privacy, AI and framework requirements into clear actions for engineering, IT, product, management and business teams. This reduces confusion and speeds up evidence collection. # TYPICAL PROJECTS - ISO 27001 gap assessments - GDPR documentation review - AI governance setup - ISO 42001 readiness support - EU AI Act readiness support - AI system inventory creation - AI risk assessment structure - Security policy creation - Risk register setup - Compliance obligation registers - Internal audit checklists - Audit evidence preparation - Vendor risk assessments - Security questionnaire responses - AI vendor risk reviews - Control mapping - KPI and KRI setup - Management review preparation - Corrective action tracking - GRC documentation cleanup # MY WORKING APPROACH I start by understanding your audit goal, documentation, risks, ownership, evidence, AI usage, stakeholders and deadlines. Then I structure the work into clear priorities, deliverables and next steps. My approach is detailed, calm and evidence-driven. I avoid unnecessary complexity and focus on what auditors, customers, management and internal teams need to see. The goal is to build a working compliance and AI governance structure that your team can understand, maintain and improve. # WHAT YOU GET Clear documentation, control mapping, audit-ready evidence structure, AI governance structure, risk and remediation tracking, and business-friendly explanations for all stakeholders. You get someone who connects compliance, privacy, security and AI requirements with real processes, owners, evidence and improvement actions. If your company is preparing for an audit, certification, customer security review, AI governance project, vendor assessment or internal compliance

I am a Senior Penetration Tester (currently working at Mercedes-Benz) specializing in manual, deep-dive security assessments for web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. I do not run automated scanners and hand over a 100-page PDF of false positives. I specialize in finding the complex, chained business-logic flaws, multi-tenant isolation issues, and authorization bypasses that automated tools completely miss. **Certifications:** - OSWE (Offensive Security Web Expert) - OSEP (Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester) - OSCP+ (Offensive Security Certified Professional) - OSWA, OSWP, KLCP **My Core Focus Areas:** - Web App & API Penetration Testing: Identifying IDORs, mass assignment, complex injection flaws, and authentication bypasses in modern SPAs and microservices. - Network Penetration Testing: Internal/External infrastructure assessments, Active Directory exploitation, and lateral movement. - Cloud Security: Exploiting access control misconfigurations in AWS, Azure, and GCP. **What you receive at the end of the engagement:** - Zero False Positives: Every vulnerability I report is manually verified and proven with exact reproduction steps. - Compliance-Ready Reporting: I deliver formal reports featuring accurate CVSS scoring, board-ready executive summaries, clear PoCs, and developer-centric remediation instructions. - Professional Discipline: I strictly adhere to established Rules of Engagement (RoE) to ensure zero business disruption during testing. Shoot me a message, and I’d be happy to share a redacted sample report so you can see the exact quality of work you will receive before we start.

Freiburg, Germany
I migrate stores from WooCommerce, Squarespace, and Wix to Shopify without losing customers, orders, or SEO rankings. The data migration is the part most freelancers get wrong, and it's where I'm strongest. A recent example: I moved 8,500+ customer records and 2,165 orders into a client's new store with a custom Shopify Admin API script, with no data loss and no broken order history. I've also delivered multiple platform migrations as part of an agency team, so I know where these projects usually break — redirects, customer accounts, order history, payment and tax setup — and how to keep them clean. Migration is the start, not the finish. Many clients keep me on afterwards to actually grow the store: theme and Liquid work (OS 2.0, Prestige, Atelier), Klaviyo and email flows, Shopify Markets for multi-country and multi-language setups, speed and conversion. You get one person who understands the whole store, not a handoff between five. I work with Claude Code, an AI development setup that lets me deliver the same quality in roughly half the time. That speed is your advantage, not a reason to pad scope. I'm also certified through the Anthropic Partner Network (all four courses), so the AI side is grounded, not improvised. What backs this up: - 100% Job Success Score, Top Rated on Upwork - Shopify Partner and Klaviyo Bronze Partner - Native German, fluent English — comfortable with EU and DACH requirements (VAT/OSS, GDPR, the 14-day right of withdrawal) Send me your current store and where you want to go. I'll tell you what the migration actually involves, what it will cost, and where the risks are, before you commit anything.
