About

I build production-grade infrastructure for AI agents that operate autonomously in the real world running live against real targets. At Simbian, I work on an AI-powered penetration testing platform that autonomously discovers and exploits vulnerabilities in web applications. I work on agentic tools, the pipelines, and the systems that make the agent effective in production. What I bring to the table: 1. AI Agent Tooling: At Simbian, I built the browser automation layer that gives the exploitation agent real browser capabilities like stealth Chromium sessions, authenticated replay via Playwright recordings, cookie injection, and session lifecycle management. 2. End-to-End Pipeline Ownership: I've developed everything from the web discovery pipeline to the full pentest reporting stack, LLM-generated summaries, chart generation, and HTML-to-PDF delivery with branding. 3. Prompt Engineering & LLM Migrations: At Simbian, I've iteratively optimized the exploitation agent's system prompts for finding quality, evidence handling, and tool usage 4. Full-Stack Depth: Backend-first but comfortable across the stack. Python, Django, React, TypeScript Core Tech Stack: 1. Languages: Python, TypeScript, SQL. 2. Backend: Django, Node.js, Kubernetes, MinIO, PostgreSQL. 3. AI: Claude API, Azure OpenAI, Strands Agent SDK, Playwright. 4. Frontend: React, TypeScript.

  • I developed core components of Simbian's AI-powered penetration testing platform — an autonomous agent that discovers and exploits vulnerabilities in web applications end-to-end.
  • Key Achievements: 1. Browser Agent Tooling: Built the browser automation layer for the exploitation agent — session lifecycle management, stealth Chromium integration, Playwright recording replay, and cookie injection for authenticated targets.
  • 2. Auth & Discovery Pipeline: Engineered multi-flow authentication and a Katana-based web discovery pipeline with MinIO-backed chunked storage for large crawl outputs.
  • 3. AI-Generated Reporting: Owned the full pentest reporting pipeline — LLM-generated executive summaries, chart generation, HTML-to-PDF rendering, and per-run structured evidence delivery with branding.
  • Technologies: Python, TypeScript, React, Django, Kubernetes, MinIO, Playwright, Claude API, Azure OpenAI, Strands Agent SDK.
