š« No hacking service - I do not provide any hacking services, and I will not engage in any activities that involve gaining unauthorized access to any accounts, systems, or social media platforms. Requests for such services will be declined.
I find the vulnerabilities in your web apps, APIs, and networks before attackers do, then hand your team a clear, reproducible penetration testing report they can act on.
4+ years of experience in penetration testing and cybersecurity, currently working full-time with a CREST-certified cybersecurity company and working with organizations including banks in Dubai and firms in Singapore across web application, API, network, and cloud security engagements.
No scanner dump and no jargon wall. Every finding comes with a severity rating (CVSS), working proof of concept, and a concrete fix your developers can ship.
What I test:
Web application penetration testing (OWASP Top 10, PTES, NIST)
API security testing (REST, GraphQL, auth/OAuth, IDOR, broken access control)
SaaS and multi-tenant assessments (Supabase / Firebase data-isolation testing)
Network and external perimeter penetration testing
Cloud security and Azure penetration testing
Active Directory and red team assessments
Source code / secure code review
How I work: authorized testing only, on systems you own or have permission to test. Everything is documented over Upwork so you get a written record of every finding, not a verbal hand-wave. I retest after you patch to confirm the holes are actually closed.
Credentials: CREST Certified, CARTP (Certified Azure Red Team Professional), CRTP (Certified Red Team Professional), CRTO (Certified Red Team Operator), Certified Ethical Hacker Practical (CEH), and Introduction to Azure Penetration Testing.
