🛡️ About Me

🕵️‍♂️ How It All Started…

It all began when I was in 10th grade, innocently scrolling through Facebook, when a friend confidently told me:

“I can hack into your account without your password!”

Being the ever curious person I am, I challenged him. And to my absolute horror (and amazement), he actually did it! That moment sparked my obsession with cybersecurity.

I started like any newbie googling “how to hack Facebook” (don’t judge, we’ve all been there 😆). That led me down a rabbit hole of phishing, OSINT, social engineering, bug bounties, and penetration testing. Fast forward to today, and here I am, living the cybersecurity dream, but this time, on the right side of the game. 😎

🛠️ What I Do Now

I’m a Cybersecurity Professional specializing in:

  • 🔍 Red Teaming & Penetration Testing – Breaking into systems (legally, of course!)
  • 🔐 Risk-Based Vulnerability Management – Because prevention is better than cure!
  • 🎯 Attack Surface Management – Finding security weaknesses before the bad guys do.
  • 🏴‍☠️ OSINT & Social Engineering – Cyber sleuthing, the ethical way.
  • 🛡️ Detection Engineering (SIEM/Threat Hunting) – Keeping threats at bay.

My journey has taken me through offensive security, cloud security, and incident response, where I’ve worked with enterprise organizations, helping them stay one step ahead of cyber threats.

💾 Technical Arsenal

  • 🛠 OWASP Top 10, NIST, OSSTM, MITRE ATT&CK
  • 🏴‍☠️ Tools of the Trade:
    • 🕵️ Recon: Nmap, Amass, DnSx
    • 🔍 Exploitation: Metasploit, SQLmap, Burp Suite
    • 🚨 Detection & Threat Hunting: ELK, Splunk, Wazuh
    • ☁️ Cloud Security: Azure Defender, AWS Inspector

If there’s a vulnerability, I’ll find it. If there’s an exploit, I’ll mitigate it. If there’s free pizza, I’m already there. 🍕😆

🎮 Fun Facts About Me

  • 🕵️ First hack? My own Facebook account (don’t ask 🤦‍♂️).
  • ☕ Hacking fuel? Chai (I’m trying to quit, but caffeine is a loyal friend).
  • 🎙️ Public Speaking? Leading OWASP Maryland & advocating AI Security & Red Teaming.
  • 🚀 Current Goal? Taking Red Teaming on LLMs to the next level.
