Penetration Tester | Web, API, Network & Cloud Security | GXPN, GCIH
I find the vulnerabilities in your web apps, APIs, and networks before attackers do, then hand your team a clear, reproducible penetration testing report they can act on. GXPN and GCIH certified. Top Rated on Upwork across web application, API, and network security engagements. No scanner dump and no jargon wall. Every finding comes with a severity rating (CVSS), working proof of concept, and a concrete fix your developers can ship. What I test: - Web application penetration testing (OWASP Top 10, PTES, NIST) - API security testing (REST, GraphQL, auth/OAuth, IDOR, broken access control) - SaaS and multi-tenant assessments (Supabase / Firebase data-isolation testing) - Network and external perimeter penetration testing - Source code / secure code review How I work: authorized testing only, on systems you own or have permission to test. Everything is documented over Upwork so you get a written record of every finding, not a verbal hand-wave. I retest after you patch to confirm the holes are actually closed. Credentials: GXPN (GIAC Advanced Penetration Tester & Exploit Researcher), GCIH (GIAC Certified Incident Handler), SANS CTF winner, and an active national/international CTF competitor (web, reverse, crypto, forensics). I also handle WordPress malware removal and incident response. See my Project Catalog for a fixed-price option.
