About

Professional summary

I am an OSCP+ and OSWE-certified penetration tester with a strong foundation in full-stack software engineering. I specialize in discovering and exploiting high-impact vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs.

I combine offensive security expertise with practical development knowledge to review source code, understand application architecture, and build reliable proofs of concept. My work focuses on delivering actionable remediation guidance alongside security findings.

I have identified more than 60 vulnerabilities through private bug bounty programs and security testing engagements. I have experience testing fintech applications, including POK and PAGO, and have contributed to security audits recognized by ePanel.

My web and API security expertise includes IDOR, XSS, SSRF, SQL injection, race conditions, business logic flaws, and authorization issues. I also work with Linux privilege escalation and post-exploitation techniques.

Alongside security work, I have built and led full-stack engineering teams, developing backend APIs, managing server-side systems and ORMs, and delivering frontend applications. I use my engineering background to collaborate effectively with developers and improve secure software delivery.
