Job Success
Baltimore, United States - 7:11 am local time
I’m a senior penetration tester and vulnerability researcher with deep experience across enterprise networks, web apps / APIs and cloud platforms.
Most testers just run automated tools and hand you a generic report. I simulate how an attacker actually thinks, perform thorough testing, and deliver professional, tailored reporting suitable not just for your own remediation efforts but also for audit / compliance.
Benefits of manual testing:
- Chaining multiple low/medium findings to show more significant impact
- Breaking multi-tenant isolation
- Bypassing auth controls (JWT, OAuth, misconfigurations)
- Identifying cost-amplification / abuse vectors (e.g., billing attacks in serverless environments)
- ZERO false positives (and wasted time trying to remediate non-issues)
- REAL severity scoring (not just CVSS or ratings with no connection to actual impact/risk for your systems and data)
What I Deliver
- Manual, attacker-style testing (not just scans)
- Clear, prioritized findings with real business impact
- Proof-of-concept exploits where it matters
- Practical remediation guidance your devs can use immediately
- Optional retesting to verify fixes
Common Engagements
- SaaS / multi-tenant application security testing
- API and authentication testing (JWT, OAuth, session flaws)
- Cloud security reviews (GCP, AWS, Azure, O365)
- DevOps security reviews (Gitlab/hub, BitBucket, etc.)
- Pre-SOC2 / investor readiness assessments
- High-intensity black-box pentests
Why Clients Hire Me
- I go beyond the scan—I find what others miss
- I understand both offense and architecture
- I communicate clearly with both engineers and leadership
- I’ve worked on MANY real-world, high-impact systems
I also help organizations:
- Investigate breaches
- Contain active threats
- Recover compromised systems
(Note: I do not assist with social media account recovery.)
