I am a security-focused developer specializing in building web applications and implementing security standards. With expertise in both offensive and defensive security practices, I help organizations identify vulnerabilities and build secure applications.
My approach centers on security by design, integrating prevention measures throughout the development lifecycle. Security is not an add-on—it's a core foundation woven into every layer of the application.
With hands-on experience in penetration testing, code security review, and full-stack architecture design, I bring a comprehensive understanding of modern web application threats and their mitigation strategies. I stay current with the latest security research and continuously adapt my practices to address emerging threats.
Proficient in manual and automated security testing using tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, SQLMap, and custom scripts. Experience with both black-box and white-box testing methodologies.
Expert in secure coding practices across multiple languages including Python, JavaScript, Java, and PHP. Implementation of security controls, input validation, and output encoding.
Experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure), container security (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code security scanning. Implementation of security monitoring and logging.
Strong understanding of cryptographic principles, secure key management, and implementation of encryption in applications. Experience with TLS/SSL configuration and certificate management.
Active participation in bug bounty programs and responsible disclosure. Experience in discovering and exploiting web application vulnerabilities and developing proof-of-concept exploits.
Design and implementation of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) like local storage-based preferences, cookie-less tracking alternatives, or permission-based UI flows
I specialize in implementing OWASP secure programming guidelines and best practices to build secure web applications. My expertise extensively covers web application security and beyond, ensuring comprehensive security coverage.
Conducted comprehensive security assessments for web applications, identifying critical vulnerabilities and providing detailed remediation guidance. Specialized in OWASP vulnerability identification and secure code review.
Developed a custom Web Application Firewall with machine learning capabilities for detecting and preventing sophisticated attacks. Implemented advanced pattern matching and behavioral analysis for zero-day protection.
Created an automated static application security testing (SAST) tool that integrates with CI/CD pipelines. The tool identifies security vulnerabilities in source code and provides developer-friendly remediation advice.
Designed and implemented a secure REST API framework with built-in authentication, rate limiting, input validation, and comprehensive logging. Used by multiple organizations as their API security standard.
