About
I have an 8-year background in offensive security. I actively participate in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and regularly attend cybersecurity conferences including BSides, DC4420, and hack::soho.
What I Do
Day to day, my client-facing work covers:
- Web application penetration testing: black and grey box engagements.
- Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): reconnaissance and infrastructure mapping for engagements.
- Reporting and remediation: OWASP-aligned writeups with CVSS v3.1 scoring, client debriefs, and follow-up retests.
- Custom tooling: small scripts and utilities that come out of repetitive engagement work.
Outside of paid engagements, I’ve spent time in training and mentorship on Active Directory and Linux exploitation, post-exploitation tradecraft, and malware analysis, working in sandboxed enterprise environments alongside red teamers.
What I’m Really Into
If I could pick, I’d spend my time on Command-and-Control (C2) infrastructure, malware development, and exploit development in Python, JavaScript, C, and C++. Callbacks, loaders, beacon comms, post-exploitation tooling.
I’m also into the overlap between offensive and defensive security: how detection forces malware to change, what defenders actually catch, and how offensive research feeds back into defensive work.
