About

As a seasoned cybersecurity professional, I have extensive experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and security automation. My expertise spans across various tools and technologies, including Burp Suite, Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, Acunetix, and Kali Linux. I have successfully identified and mitigated critical vulnerabilities in complex systems, ensuring robust security postures for my clients.

In my previous roles, I have led security testing initiatives, conducted comprehensive security audits, and implemented effective security measures. My work with compliance frameworks such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 has equipped me with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements and best practices in data protection and privacy.

One of my notable achievements includes spearheading a security testing project that uncovered significant vulnerabilities in a major financial application, leading to the implementation of enhanced security protocols and safeguarding sensitive customer data. Additionally, I have automated security testing processes using tools like Selenium and Python, improving efficiency and accuracy in identifying potential threats.

My commitment to continuous learning and professional development is demonstrated by my certifications, including Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and other relevant credentials. I am passionate about staying ahead of emerging threats and technologies, ensuring that my skills and knowledge remain cutting-edge in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.
