Who I Am
I’m an offensive security enthusiast focused on web application and API security, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and adversarial testing. I hold HTB CWES and HTB CJCA, with hands-on experience across security internships, CTFs, labs, and security research projects.
My core focus areas include web application security, API security, OWASP Top 10 risks, authentication and authorization, access control, injection, XSS, SSRF, file uploads, and business logic flaws.
