>Professional Focus

As an Offensive Security Engineer, I identify vulnerabilities and simulate real-world threats to help organizations strengthen their security posture. My approach combines technical expertise with effective communication to translate complex security findings into actionable remediation strategies.

"Security is more than just finding vulnerabilities—it's about understanding how attackers think and providing practical solutions that organizations can implement."
