Penetration Tester Red Team Operator Active Directory Specialist Application Security

Offensive Security Engineer with 4+ years across SOC operations, penetration testing, and cloud security engineering. I started as a developer. That foundation means I trace vulnerabilities to their source in the code, not just fire tools at a target. Hands-on across the full attack surface: Active Directory environments compromised via BloodHound, Kerberoasting, DCSync, and delegation abuse. Live CVEs exploited on network services. Cobalt Strike C2 beacons identified in memory dumps. Full intrusion timelines reconstructed from raw disk artifacts. 13 HackTheBox machines rooted. All documented.
