About

Cybersecurity Professional | Penetration Tester – Web, Cloud, Mobile, IoT & Automotive Systems I’m an experienced cybersecurity analyst with a strong track record in performing penetration testing and vulnerability assessments across web applications, cloud environments, mobile platforms, IoT/embedded systems, and modern automotive ECUs. I specialize in identifying security weaknesses through ethical hacking, fuzz testing, and custom test scripting to uncover hidden threats across complex, connected systems. In the automotive cybersecurity domain, I’ve led security evaluations of ECUs and infotainment systems—executing fuzz testing on communication protocols (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CAN, Ethernet), analyzing packet-level traffic using Wireshark, and aligning findings with ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29 standards. I’ve simulated real-world attacks and collaborated with development teams to remediate vulnerabilities before deployment. In the mobile and connected device space, I’ve delivered in-depth manual testing for Comcast Smart TV applications across Tizen, webOS, and Android TV platforms—validating security, performance, and user experience. My role involved debugging encrypted communication using Charles Proxy, Wireshark, and ADB under various network conditions to ensure secure playback, content protection, and backend integration. Whether working with APIs, embedded interfaces, or modern cloud-connected platforms, I take a proactive, detail-driven approach to security testing, risk assessment, and compliance assurance. 🔧 Key Skills & Tools: • Web, Mobile & Cloud Penetration Testing • Automotive Cybersecurity (ECU, Infotainment, UDS, CAN, DoIP) • API Security Testing & Protocol Fuzzing • Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CAN, Ethernet Vulnerability Testing • Wireshark, Charles Proxy, ADB, Burp Suite • ISO/SAE 21434 & UNECE WP.29 Compliance • DRM, Content Protection & Ad Logic Verification • Smart TV App Testing (Tizen, webOS, Android TV) • Agile & Secure SDLC Collaboration | JIRA | Custom Scripting
