About me

I'm an offensive security professional specializing in red team operations, penetration testing, and adversary simulation. With over five years of hands-on experience and 13 additional years in mixed security, development, and infrastructure roles. I focus on identifying realistic attack paths, validating defensive controls, and helping organizations understand how real-world attackers operate.

My approach is grounded in structured methodology and disciplined execution. I prioritize depth over shortcuts, clarity over hype, and repeatable process over tool dependency. Every engagement and project is driven by one core objective:

Understand how attacks succeed so defenses can be meaningfully improved.

Professional Experience

Over the years, I have worked across a range of offensive security engagements, including:

  • Network penetration testing
  • Web application security assessments
  • Active Directory exploitation and enterprise attack path analysis
  • Red team operations and adversary emulation
  • Post-exploitation, privilege escalation, and lateral movement
  • Tradecraft refinement and operational security (OPSEC)

My work emphasizes realistic attack chains, privilege escalation pathways, and measurable security impact-not isolated vulnerabilities.

Certifications

  • OSCP – Offensive Security Certified Professional
  • OSWE – Offensive Security Web Expert
  • OSEP – Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester
  • CRTO – Certified Red Team Operator

These certifications reflect advanced proficiency in exploitation, evasion techniques, and complex attack path development.

Technical Philosophy

  • Deep understanding of systems and protocols
  • Structured enumeration and hypothesis-driven testing
  • Realistic adversary simulation
  • Ethical and responsible execution

Security is not about running tools - it is about understanding systems, identifying trust boundaries, and methodically breaking assumptions.

Professional Standards

All work and research are conducted within authorized environments and sanctioned engagements. Ethical responsibility and legal compliance are foundational to my practice.
