Background

About Dave Roberts

Relentless and results-driven penetration tester with a background in engineering, advanced graduate coursework in computer science, and a proven track record of executing real-world attacks in controlled environments. A recent graduate of Springboard’s Cybersecurity Bootcamp, I’ve since dedicated myself to mastering offensive security through hands-on platforms like Hack The Box, TryHackMe, and PentesterLab. I specialize in identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities across web apps, infrastructure, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), mobile platforms, and IoT systems. I bring a deep technical foundation in scripting, Linux/Windows internals, and network protocols, paired with the discipline of someone who thrives on solving problems under pressure. My goal isn’t just to find flaws—it's to think like an attacker, map risk to real business impact, and deliver strategic, high-value solutions that harden organizations at scale. What sets me apart? I’ve got the curiosity of a hacker, the rigor of an engineer, and the communication skills to translate risk into action for both technical and executive audiences. Every engagement is an opportunity to push limits, break things the right way, and make systems better for everyone. Certifications in Progress: OSCP, Burp Suite Certified, and CRTO Technical Strengths: Python, Java, Bash, HTML/CSS/JS, Linux/Windows, Wireshark, Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Cloud Security, internal infrastructure testing, and web application testing Current Focus: Red teaming, adversary emulation, post-exploitation techniques, and cloud misconfiguration hunting
