London, England, United Kingdom
MSc Applied Cyber Security graduate and Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) transitioning into a dedicated career in Offensive Security. My professional background is defined by managing the complexity of enterprise-level systems. Across my experience in technical operations, I have specialized in diagnosing root causes within integrated platforms, overseeing large-scale data flows, and ensuring the integrity of network infrastructures. This “under-the-hood” experience has given me a deep understanding of how enterprise environments are built, which I now leverage to identify and secure their vulnerabilities. How my background translates to Offensive Security: • System & Data Analysis: My experience in cross-system analysis and diagnosing data discrepancies allows me to approach penetration testing with a methodical, root-cause-oriented mindset. • Infrastructure Knowledge: Having managed Active Directory, network configurations (LAN/WAN), and enterprise middleware, I understand the common misconfigurations and entry points that attackers target. • Operational Security: I have a proven ability to maintain operational continuity while implementing security-focused practices, ensuring that security measures support rather than hinder business functions. • Advanced Research: My MSc dissertation on Machine Learning Attacks on PUFs demonstrates my ability to research and understand complex, emerging threats at the hardware and cryptographic levels. Current Focus: I am currently targeting Junior Penetration Tester roles with a long-term commitment to Red Teaming. I am actively refining my manual exploit identification and reconnaissance skills through hands-on labs in TryHackMe and Hack The Box. Core Interests: Penetration Testing | Red Teaming | Network Security | Vulnerability Research | Ethical Hacking | Digital Forensics
