about me
Profile
I am an aspiring Cybersecurity Professional with an MSc in Cyber Security from the University of Birmingham (Russell Group). I hold OSCP+, CRTO, and PNPT certifications, with hands-on experience in web application and infrastructure penetration testing, Active Directory attack chains, red team operations, C2 frameworks, and responsible disclosure.
Strong grounding in OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST frameworks, and professional report writing for both technical and non-technical audiences.
I am a passionate learner with a high drive towards growth. I have attended various technical conferences involving cybersecurity and computing. I enjoy penetration testing across all domains and am a prolific CTF player, having participated in numerous contests, scoring significant points, and winning a CTF. I also write technical blogs covering offensive security research and certification prep.
Actively looking for full-time Security Engineering, Penetration Testing, and Security Consultant roles. Open to relocating.
