About Me

Professional Summary

I am a dedicated offensive security researcher and practitioner with a strong technical foundation in vulnerability assessment and adversarial simulations. Currently, as a **Trainee Information Security Consultant at Trustvault**, I focus on uncovering complex security flaws across web applications, APIs, and enterprise networks, including Active Directory environments.

My approach combines deep technical curiosity with an adversarial mindset. I am passionate about bridging the gap between theoretical vulnerabilities and real-world impact, providing organizations with the strategic insights needed to harden their defenses against modern threats.
