Available for short-term audits, incident response, and long-term security consulting.

6+ years as a Security Researcher, CEH v12 and ISO 27001 Certified Lead Security Auditor, I help startups, SaaS companies, and enterprises secure everything they build and run from a single web app to multi-cloud infrastructure, AI/ML systems, and full compliance programs. My approach is simple: security isn't a scanner dump, it's a clear view of your real risk plus a prioritized, actionable plan to fix it. Coming from a strong software engineering background, I read source code, follow data flows, and reason about architecture, so I catch the business-logic and design flaws that automated tools always miss. 🌐 APPLICATION SECURITY & PENETRATION TESTING Full-stack web, mobile, and API pentesting across the OWASP Top 10 & API Security Top 10: broken access control, IDOR, SSRF, injection (SQL/NoSQL/command/template), XSS, CSRF, insecure deserialization, auth/session flaws, and business-logic abuse. Apps built on React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, Node.js, Python (Django/Flask/FastAPI), Java (Spring), PHP (Laravel), Ruby on Rails, .NET, and Go, plus Android/iOS (OWASP MASVS). Every finding is manually verified to remove false positives, CVSS-scored, and shipped with developer-ready remediation and a free retest. Tools: Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Metasploit, Nuclei, sqlmap, Nessus, ffuf. ☁️ CLOUD SECURITY ( AWS, AZURE & GCP) IAM and least-privilege reviews, network segmentation (VPC/VNet, security groups, NACLs), encryption/KMS, logging and monitoring (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Azure Defender, GCP Security Command Center), and CIS Benchmark hardening aligned to Well-Architected security pillars. I find misconfigurations, exposed storage (S3/Blob/GCS), over-permissive roles, and privilege-escalation paths, and design secure cloud architectures with CSPM tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite. ⚙️ DEVSECOPS & INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY Security built into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps), container and Kubernetes security (image scanning with Trivy/Grype, RBAC, network policies, Pod Security Standards), and Infrastructure-as-Code review for Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, and Pulumi (Checkov, tfsec, Terrascan). I integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning (Semgrep, Snyk, SonarQube, Gitleaks, TruffleHog) into automated pipelines, with secrets management via HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and cloud KMS securing the full software supply chain from commit to deploy. 🤖 AI / ML SECURITY I secure AI, ML, and LLM-powered features against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and the MITRE ATLAS framework: prompt injection, jailbreaks, sensitive-data and training-data leakage, insecure output handling, model denial-of-service, supply-chain risks, and excessive agency in autonomous/agentic systems. I review apps using OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and open-source models (Llama, Mistral), plus RAG pipelines, vector databases, TensorFlow, and PyTorch and leverage AI defensively for security automation and faster threat detection. 📋 GOVERNANCE, RISK & COMPLIANCE (GRC) As an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, I lead ISO 27001:2022 implementation, internal audits, gap analysis, ISMS development, Statement of Applicability, and risk treatment plans to get you certification-ready. I also support SOC 2 (Type I & II), GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework alignment, including security policies, risk registers, vendor/third-party risk management, awareness training, and audit-ready documentation. 🧠 SECURITY ENGINEERING & RESEARCH Secure code review across multiple languages, threat modeling (STRIDE, attack trees), reverse engineering (including Java/bytecode and anti-tamper analysis), malware analysis fundamentals, network security, and security architecture design. I also build cybersecurity training programs and translate complex risk into language both executives and developers understand. 🤝 HOW I WORK 1️⃣ Free scoping call to understand your stack, goals, and concerns 2️⃣ Testing/assessment with clear, regular communication 3️⃣ A prioritized report - Executive Summary + technical detail + exact fixes 4️⃣ A free retest and debrief once your team remediates Every engagement is handled with strict confidentiality and full authorization.

I design and build production-grade security systems for companies that need to secure cloud infrastructure, pass audits, and operate in regulated environments. Most teams don’t have a security tool problem. They have an architecture, integration, and execution problem. That’s where I come in. What I Do I help startups and enterprise teams move from: ❌ fragmented tools and partial controls ❌ audit delays and failing security reviews ❌ reactive fixes and security debt → to ✅ engineered, scalable security architecture ✅ audit-ready, continuously compliant environments ✅ automated, integrated security operations Core Expertise Cloud Security & Cryptography • Multi-cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP) • TLS PKI systems with automated certificate lifecycle (IaC + CI/CD) • Encryption architecture (CMEK, KMS, data masking, data protection) • Cryptographic hardening aligned with FIPS and modern standards • DNS security, network isolation, and zero-trust patterns Identity & Access Management • SSO (SAML, OIDC), enterprise identity federation • RBAC and least-privilege system design at scale • SCIM provisioning and identity lifecycle automation • Integration with enterprise IdPs (PingFederate, Azure AD, Okta) • Cross-account and multi-environment access control Compliance & Audit Readiness • SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP-aligned environments • End-to-end delivery: gap assessment → implementation → audit support • Control design, remediation, and evidence automation (Vanta, Drata, custom pipelines) • Continuous compliance monitoring vs point-in-time audits • Closing audit findings fast (not just identifying them) Security Engineering & Incident Response • CI/CD security (SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, secret management) • Vulnerability management with automated remediation workflows • Cloud misconfiguration detection (CIS benchmarks, runtime analysis) • Secure system design across infrastructure and application layers • Incident response, forensics support, and system hardening AI-Driven Security I don’t just integrate tools — I design security platforms. I have built and architected multi-agent AI-driven cybersecurity systems combining: • Cloud security analysis (AWS integrations, IAM analysis, misconfiguration detection) • Offensive security (recon, exploitation, privilege escalation simulation) • Vulnerability management (SAST, DAST, fuzzing, CI/CD integration) • SOC automation (SIEM/SOAR integrations, alert enrichment, playbooks) • Forensics and incident investigation workflows • Compliance reporting mapped to frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA) Key capabilities: • Multi-agent orchestration and communication • Automated remediation workflows • MITRE ATT&CK mapping and executive reporting • API-driven integrations across security tooling ecosystem • Role-based access for security, DevOps, and compliance teams This enables: → Continuous security instead of periodic assessments → 80% reduction in manual security effort → Faster audit readiness and real-time visibility How I Work • Engineering-first — I build and implement, not just advise • Work directly in production systems (cloud, identity, pipelines) • Design for real audit constraints, not theoretical compliance • Fast execution, clear communication, and ownership Typical Clients • SaaS companies preparing for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA • Cloud-native platforms handling sensitive or regulated data • Startups entering enterprise sales with security blockers • Organizations with fragmented security tools that don’t work together Important I’m not a fit for checklist-based security or surface-level audits. If you need: • real security architecture • working implementations • systems that pass audits and hold up in production - we’ll work well together.
