6+ years as an Offensive Security Researcher, OSCP and CEH v12 certified, I help startups, SaaS companies, and enterprises think like an attacker before real attackers do through hands-on Penetration Testing, Red Teaming, and Vulnerability Assessment (VAPT) across web, mobile, API, network, and cloud environments.
My approach is simple: real offensive security isn't a scanner dump it's manual exploitation, chained attack paths, and a prioritized, developer-ready remediation plan mapped to your actual business risk.
With a strong software engineering background, I read source code, trace data flows, and reason about architecture catching business-logic flaws, privilege-escalation chains, and design weaknesses that automated tools always miss.
🎯 PENETRATION TESTING & VAPT
Full-scope Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) across the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, and PTES/OSSTMM methodologies: broken access control, IDOR, SSRF, SQLi/NoSQLi/command/template injection, XSS, CSRF, insecure deserialization, auth/session flaws, privilege escalation, and business-logic abuse.
Web App Pentesting: React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, Node.js, Django/Flask/FastAPI, Spring, Laravel, Rails, .NET, Go
Mobile Pentesting: Android & iOS per OWASP MASVS/MASTG, static + dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, insecure storage, API/backend abuse
API Pentesting: REST, GraphQL, SOAP auth bypass, rate-limit abuse, mass assignment, BOLA/BFLA
Network Pentesting: internal/external, Active Directory attacks (Kerberoasting, pass-the-hash, lateral movement, privilege escalation), segmentation testing
Every finding is manually verified (zero false positives), CVSS-scored, and delivered with an executive summary + technical deep dive + exact remediation steps, plus a free retest.
Tools: Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Nuclei, sqlmap, Nessus, ffuf, BloodHound, Mimikatz, Hashcat, John the Ripper, Wireshark
🕵️ RED TEAMING & ADVERSARY SIMULATION
End-to-end Red Team engagements simulating real-world TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK: initial access, phishing simulation, C2 infrastructure, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and data exfiltration testing people, process, and technology together, not just systems. Purple Team collaboration to strengthen detection and response (SOC/EDR/SIEM evasion & tuning).
☁️ CLOUD SECURITY (AWS, Azure & GCP)
IAM and least-privilege reviews, network segmentation, exposed storage (S3/Blob/GCS), privilege-escalation paths, and CIS Benchmark hardening. Cloud penetration testing and CSPM assessments using Prowler, ScoutSuite, and Pacu.
⚙️ DEVSECOPS & INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
Security embedded into CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), container/Kubernetes security (Trivy, Grype, RBAC, Pod Security Standards), and IaC security review for Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible (Checkov, tfsec). SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning integration (Semgrep, Snyk, SonarQube, Gitleaks, TruffleHog).
🤖 AI / LLM SECURITY
Offensive testing of AI/ML and LLM-powered features against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and MITRE ATLAS: prompt injection, jailbreaks, model DoS, sensitive-data leakage, insecure output handling, and excessive agency in agentic systems.
🧠 SECURITY ENGINEERING & RESEARCH
Secure code review, threat modeling (STRIDE, attack trees), reverse engineering (Java/bytecode, anti-tamper analysis), malware analysis fundamentals, and security architecture design.
🤝 HOW I WORK:
1️⃣ Free scoping call to define objectives, rules of engagement, and scope
2️⃣ Testing/assessment with clear, regular communication
3️⃣ A prioritized report Executive Summary + technical detail + exact fixes
4️⃣ Free retest and debrief once your team remediates
Every engagement is handled under strict confidentiality, signed Rules of Engagement, and full written authorization. I don't oversell if you don't need a service, I'll tell you honestly.

Looker Studio & Google Analytics specialist who builds the whole stack and not just the front end. I pipe GA4, ad-platform and database data into BigQuery using Windsor.ai, Airbyte and dbt, then build clean, reliable Looker Studio and Metabase dashboards your marketing and e-commerce teams actually use.
I build AI ready data pipelines designed from the start so AI agents and MCPs can run on top of them reliably. That means clean schemas, dbt documented metadata, and context engineering: structuring what Claude or any LLM knows about your data so it answers business questions correctly, not just quickly. Claude MCP integrations connect AI directly to live databases. Architecture and QA on every project is overseen by a BI Veteran with 12 years of experience. Work that used to take 2 to 3 weeks delivered in 3 to 5 days — not by cutting corners, but by validating continuously as we build.
🎯 My focus is simple like clean data models, reliable KPIs, and dashboards people actually open.
🛠️ What I build (end to end):
✅ Marketing & web data pipelines: automated ingestion from GA4, Google Ads, Meta or Facebook, Shopify, databases and APIs into BigQuery using Windsor.ai, Airbyte and dbt for staging, intermediate and fact models, GitHub version control, and monitoring or alerts so the data stays reliable.
✅ Google Analytics reporting: GA4 and web data exported into BigQuery for complete historical data, then modeled into decision-ready Looker Studio dashboards.
✅ Looker Studio & Metabase dashboards: interactive marketing, web and e-commerce reporting calculated fields, period comparisons (MoM, YoY, growth %), running totals, filters, permissions and governance.
✅ Automated reporting: scheduled, hands-off pipelines that build and deliver client reports on a daily cadence, so your team stops rebuilding spreadsheets.
✅ BigQuery & SQL: advanced SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery), query optimization, complex joins and CTEs, and clean star-schema models.
📌 Recent work:
✅ An automated marketing reporting pipeline that produces and delivers per client dashboards every day, unattended.
✅ Multi clinic lead and performance analytics for a 30 location network (GoHighLevel to Cloud Run to BigQuery to Looker Studio).
✅ GA/GA4 web analytics dashboards for global and EU e-commerce sites.
✅ Amazon Selling Partner sales, profit, margin and returns analytics in Metabase on a dbt and BigQuery pipeline.
💡 How I add value:
✅ I own the whole flow from raw source to the dashboard, so nothing breaks between the pipeline and the report.
✅ I translate business and marketing questions into structured data and clear KPIs.
✅ I build scalable models and pipelines so reporting stays reliable as you grow.
✅ I keep data accurate, consistent and governed.
I don't just build dashboards; I build the pipeline and the dashboard, so your numbers are trustworthy end to end.
🤝 Why clients work with me:
✅ Strong SQL and data modeling foundation
✅ Clean, structured, well documented development
✅ Business focused mindset, not just technical
✅ Clear communication and reliable long term collaboration

With over 20+ years of IT and digital transformation experience, I have worked as a highly skilled Senior Digital Program Manager, SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE), Technology Solution Manager, Agile Coach, and Business Analyst, partnering with leading global organizations such as IKEA Sweden, IBM Global, Decathlon IT, Cushman & Wakefield, Jumio Corporation, and more recently with Ragu AI on enterprise AI platform delivery.
I am also designated with the Top Talent badge on Upwork, placing me among the top 3% of freelancers, with 6,000+ hours of successful delivery across global clients and complex digital transformation programs.
I am proud to be a University Gold Medalist, blogger, and keynote speaker, and I bring strong expertise in managing complex, business-critical programs across domains, distributed teams, and multiple geographies. Over the years, I have been recognized multiple times as a star performer by C-suite stakeholders for my delivery leadership, stakeholder management, and ability to build alignment across business and technology teams.
I also bring solid hands-on experience across Gantt, ClickUp, Jira (including Advanced Roadmaps), Monday, Slack, and Confluence, with over 10 years of usage across enterprise delivery environments. On the technology side, I have worked closely with teams across Python, Java, React, and C++, and have also led delivery initiatives involving Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
Recent AI / Enterprise Delivery Experience
Ragu AI – Enterprise AI Platform Delivery
Most recently, I have been leading delivery and product operations for an enterprise AI platform focused on knowledge-grounded assistants and a multi-tenant SaaS architecture. My responsibilities include roadmap execution, sprint planning, engineering governance, stakeholder management, and cross-functional delivery across platform hardening, AI capabilities, DevOps, and customer onboarding initiatives. I have been driving the implementation of scalable AI workflows, enterprise integrations, delivery processes, and governance mechanisms to support secure, production-ready deployments and multi-client rollouts of AI-powered solutions.
Cushman & Wakefield – Digital Transformation / Product & Program Delivery
At Cushman & Wakefield, I have been involved in enterprise product and digital transformation initiatives, working closely with stakeholders on technology delivery, AI-led solution discussions, workflow/process improvements, roadmap planning, and execution governance. My work has included coordinating across business teams, engineering, and leadership to drive delivery alignment, streamline operational processes, and support the rollout of strategic product and technology initiatives in a complex enterprise environment.
Project Achievements
I am particularly proud of two major digital initiatives at Decathlon India, where I led the complete software engineering workflow and product rollout from scratch for Decathlon App and AllForSport.
Building a social network and sports engagement platform was new for Decathlon and represented an important step in their omnichannel transformation journey. The initiative involved significant ambiguity, evolving business requirements, and continuous prioritization of what would deliver the most impact. I played a key role in defining business requirements, creating use cases, right-scoping launches, managing Agile delivery, and coordinating with third-party integrators and support systems.
Over the course of one year, we successfully launched 4 major and 6 minor releases, delivering measurable business outcomes:
30% improvement in team lead time / productivity
10,000+ app downloads
Peak sales revenue of USD 30,000/day
App rating above 4.5
40,000+ registered users
30% repeat customers
1,000+ activities hosted on the platform
This was a significant milestone in Decathlon’s digital and online revenue journey, especially during the Covid period, as the company accelerated its transition toward scalable omnichannel and community-led digital experiences.
Across my career, I have consistently operated at the intersection of business strategy, product delivery, Agile execution, stakeholder management, and technology leadership. I am comfortable stepping into roles that require program setup, delivery governance, backlog and roadmap planning, client communication, process optimization, vendor coordination, and driving execution across globally distributed teams. My ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery execution allows me to quickly add value in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments.
