About me
I am a certified penetration tester specializing in infrastructure penetration testing, Active Directory exploitation, and Red Teaming. I hold certifications such as Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester (OSEP), Certified Red Team Operator (CRTO), and Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (CPTS). My experience spans SOC operations, CTF design, and custom tool development using languages like C#, C, and PowerShell.
I have worked on various projects including developing open-source tools to bypass security mechanisms and creating Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges to foster cybersecurity skills among participants. I am passionate about offensive security and continuously enhance my skills through side projects and reading technical literature.
In my professional roles, I have performed penetration tests, developed automation scripts for security alert systems, and authored incident response playbooks. I am experienced in identifying vulnerabilities, monitoring security logs, and investigating security incidents to improve system defenses.
I am proficient in scripting and automation, leveraging tools such as Cobalt Strike and Sliver for command and control frameworks. My expertise also includes Windows and Linux privilege escalation, lateral movement techniques, and malware development.
I am currently based in Kazakhstan and actively pursuing a Master’s Degree in Information Security. I am fluent in English, Kazakh, and Russian, and I am eager to contribute my skills to challenging security roles that require deep technical knowledge and practical experience.
