I'm a cybersecurity professional with over 10 years of experience, currently focused on transitioning into a penetration testing role. I began my career in IT supporting users, managing firewall rules, configuring VPNs, and resolving infrastructure-related issues. I also gained hands-on experience conducting internal penetration testing, along with network monitoring and access control — which helped me build a solid foundation in network and system security.
In recent years, I’ve focused heavily on developing my offensive security skills. I’ve taken structured training through platforms like Hack The Box and TryHackMe, and have actively participated in Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges. My hands-on experience includes enumeration, privilege escalation, post-exploitation, and working across both Linux and Windows environments. I'm now seeking to apply these skills in a dedicated pentesting role where I can help organizations identify and remediate real-world threats.
| Skill | Associated Project |
|---|---|
| Network Scanning and Enumeration | TryHackMe – Network Security |
| Privilege Escalation (Windows & Linux) | TryHackMe – Linux PrivEsc |
| Active Directory Exploitation | TryHackMe – Attacking AD |
| Exploitation of Common Vulnerabilities | Hack The Box |
| Capture the Flag (CTF) Solving | PicoCTF |
| Vulnerability Assessment and Reporting | Custom Lab using VirtualBox + VulnHub VMs |

I use Kali Linux as my primary penetration testing distribution. It provides a robust set of pre-installed tools for reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation.
I work with a wide range of penetration testing tools tailored to each phase of an engagement — from reconnaissance and scanning to exploitation and reporting.
