Security Engineer with expertise in Penetration Testing & Secure Development. Think like an attacker, build like a defender, one vulnerability at a time.

./about_me

I bridge the gap between penetration testing and secure development as a cybersecurity specialist with an MSc from Cardiff University alongside engineering experience. My unique edge is that I think like an attacker but build like a defender. I translate complex security risks into business language that stakeholders can understand, turning weakness into fortified strengths.

I am eJPT certified and have hands-on experience with technologies like Burp Suite, Wireshark, and Splunk. From OWASP-based penetration testing to protecting CI/CD pipelines and designing risk frameworks, my focus is on building solutions that provide tangible business value.

When I'm not debugging alerts or optimising code, you will find me talking about coffee and exploring the latest innovations in technology.
