About

I started my career in offensive security because I was obsessed with understanding how systems break. That curiosity soon evolved into a deeper interest in how large-scale engineering teams build and secure modern applications. Today, I work across application, infrastructure, and Kubernetes security, doing everything from penetration testing and red teaming to threat modeling and building automated security checks for cloud-native architectures. I’ve spent the last 4.2+ years working closely with developers, SREs, and platform teams to uncover weaknesses, fix them at the root, and make security a natural part of the engineering workflow. Whether it’s writing a custom tool, analyzing a new attack path, or helping teams understand their security gaps, I enjoy the blend of technical depth and real-world impact that security brings. Always learning, always breaking, always improving.
