• Expertise in scripting and development (Python, Node.js, Shell) to build custom security tooling and integrations.
• Comprehensive knowledge of web protocols, OWASP Top 10, and advanced threat frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF).
• Proven track record in ethical hacking, CTF competitions, or bug bounty hunting, showcasing a high level of technical tenacity and analytical rigor.
