./about_me

I am a cybersecurity specialist with an MSc from Cardiff University and a background in engineering, uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between aggressive penetration testing and secure development.

My core strength: I think like an attacker but build like a defender.

I don't just find vulnerabilities, I implement fortifications that drive tangible business value.

  • Translating Risk: I convert complex, technical security risks into clear, impactful business language that stakeholders—from technical teams to executive boards—can immediately understand and act upon.
  • Fortifying Operations: I specialize in moving organizations beyond mere compliance, turning identified weaknesses into fortified strategic strengths. My focus areas include OWASP-based penetration testing, securing CI/CD pipelines, and designing robust risk frameworks.

My hands-on expertise is backed by an eJPT certification and practical experience with industry-standard tools: Burp Suite, Wireshark, and Splunk.

When I step away from debugging alerts and optimizing security code, I'm usually found discussing the intricacies of quality coffee or exploring the next wave of technological innovation.
