I'm a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Web Application Penetration Tester specializing in identifying real-world security vulnerabilities before attackers do. My focus is on manual penetration testing of web applications and APIs, helping organizations strengthen their security through practical, developer-friendly remediation guidance.
I specialize in:
• Web Application Penetration Testing
• API Security Testing
• Authentication & Authorization Testing
• Business Logic Testing
• OWASP Top 10 Assessments
• Vulnerability Assessment & Validation
• Security Retesting After Remediation
My assessments go beyond automated scanners. I manually evaluate authentication flows, access control, session management, input validation, business logic, and other areas where real attackers commonly find exploitable weaknesses.
Every engagement includes a professional security report with:
• Executive Summary
• Risk Ratings (CVSS-based where appropriate)
• Technical Details
• Proof of Concept where applicable
• Practical Remediation Guidance
• Retesting Support
My toolkit includes Burp Suite Professional, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, FFUF, SQLMap, Gobuster, Wireshark, Metasploit, and other industry-standard security tools, selecting the right tools based on the assessment rather than relying on automated scans alone.
I also have experience as a security researcher, responsibly identifying and reporting vulnerabilities through bug bounty programs. This experience has strengthened my ability to think like an attacker and identify issues that are often overlooked during routine security reviews.
Whether you're preparing for production, securing a SaaS platform, testing APIs, or validating security before launch, my goal is to provide actionable findings that help your team reduce risk and build more secure applications.
Let's discuss how I can help improve the security of your application.

• OWASP Top 10 Security Assessments (SQLi, XSS, IDOR, Broken Authentication)
• Malware Analysis (Static & Dynamic with Ghidra, PEStudio, Any.run)
• SIEM & Threat Monitoring (Wazuh setup, Suricata rule writing, alert triage)
• AI-Assisted Offensive Security (HexStrike AI + Claude orchestration)
• Comprehensive Vulnerability Reports with Executive Summaries
Why choose me?
• Clear, prioritized remediation steps for technical and non-technical teams
• CVSS-based risk severity ratings
• Proven skills maintained through a personal SOC and pentesting lab simulating real-world attacks
Send me a message and let's discuss how I can help secure your systems efficiently and thoroughly.

Most clients reach out for one of three reasons. Something broke and they need it fixed fast. They are scaling and their setup will not hold. Or they want someone to review their cloud and tell them honestly what is wrong. I handle all three, find the root cause, fix it properly, and document everything so your team can maintain it.
