Penetration Tester | Web, API, Cloud & AI Security | Red Teaming

🌐 Top 10 % on Upwork 📅 11+ Years of Experience | ✅ Penetration Tester | 🌐 80+ projects outside Upwork | 🚀 Quick Response Time | 🕒 On-Time Delivery | 🛡️ Post Contract Support I help SaaS companies, and enterprises identify critical security vulnerabilities before they become costly breaches, compliance issues, or business disruptions. As an Application Security Consultant and Penetration Tester, I specialize in uncovering real-world security weaknesses across web applications, APIs, network infrastructure, cloud environments, and modern technology platforms. My goal is not only to identify vulnerabilities but also to help organizations understand their security risks, prioritize remediation efforts, and strengthen their overall security posture. I have worked on security assessments involving enterprise applications, banking platforms, healthcare systems, cloud infrastructures, and business-critical applications. My experience includes identifying authentication flaws, access control weaknesses, business logic vulnerabilities, network misconfigurations, cloud security gaps, API security issues, and attack paths that automated scanners frequently miss.

I work with clients on recurring security assessments, monthly security reviews, remediation verification, secure development guidance, and continuous security improvement initiatives. Whether you need a one-time security assessment or a long-term security partner, I focus on delivering actionable security insights that help protect your applications, infrastructure, customers, and reputation. If you are looking for a security professional who can think like an attacker and provide practical, business-focused security recommendations, I would be happy to discuss your project.
