About

As a driven Cybersecurity professional specializing in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), I thrive on identifying and mitigating risks across web applications, networks, Active Directory, Wi-Fi, and social engineering vectors. With a passion for offensive security and a goal to excel as a Red Team Operator, I leverage tools like Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Nessus, Nikto, and OSINT frameworks to simulate real-world attacks, uncover critical vulnerabilities, and deliver actionable insights that strenghten organizational defenses. My hands-on experience stems from tackling Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges and immersive labs on TryHackMe and Hack The Box, where I’ve sharpened my skills in exploiting vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL injection, and privilege escalation. I’m committed to continuous learning, evidenced by my pursuit of industry-standard certifications such as Security+, CPTS (In Progress), eJPT, CRTA. Staying ahead of the evolving threat landscape fuels my drive to master new techniques and tools. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from De La Salle University-Manila, I bring a versatile skill set spanning Cybersecurity, Web and Mobile Development, Networking, Cloud Engineering, and System Administration. Grounded in IT security best practices, I’m passionate about using technology to solve real-world challenges and protect digital assets. I’m always eager to connect with like-minded professionals and discuss how we can strengthen security together.
