About

I break systems for a living — then help build them better. With 7+ years in offensive security, I've grown from competitive CTF player to Senior Cloud IAM Engineer at Synchrony Financial, where I architect enterprise-scale identity and access management solutions for millions of users. My background spans both sides of the security equation: → Offensive: Penetration testing, red teaming, bug bounty research, and active CVE discovery across SSRF, RCE, IDOR, and XSS vulnerability classes → Cloud & IAM: Designing secure, scalable identity infrastructure on AWS/Azure with Terraform and automation at the enterprise level → Specialized domains: Active Directory, Android/iOS mobile security, and in-depth source code review I hold 9 CVEs to date — including recent findings in widely used open-source platforms — and continue to contribute to the security community through responsible disclosure. CVEs: CVE-2022-2170 | CVE-2025-67436 | CVE-2025-68454 | CVE-2026-25498 | CVE-2026-27129 | CVE-2026-27127 | CVE-2026-29069 | CVE-2026-28784 | CVE-2026-31867 What sets me apart is the attacker's lens I bring to defensive engineering. I don't just know security frameworks — I know how adversaries think, move, and persist. Open to senior roles in: Offensive Security | Cloud Security Architecture | Security Engineering | Product Security Let's connect.
