With over 8 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, I specialize in protecting systems through real-world offensive testing. My journey spans web and mobile (Android/iOS), thick client applications, and network security, blending technical depth with a hacker mindset to uncover critical vulnerabilities before adversaries do. From web apps to car hacking, I’ve explored nearly every layer of security, from traditional enterprise applications to complex environments like Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, IoT, and automotive systems. I work with startups, enterprises, and global teams to ensure their systems are not just compliant, but truly secure.
