About

I break things before attackers do — and I automate how we do it. With 5.5+ years in network protocol and security testing, I've built automation frameworks, simulated real-world DDoS attacks, and validated the reliability of products that handle millions of packets per second. My work at ACL Digital involved testing Radware DefensePro devices — putting them under SYN floods, DNS amplification, and TLS-layer attacks to ensure they hold when it matters most. What I bring to a product company: - End-to-end test ownership: from writing test plans to raising bugs with full traceability - Automation-first mindset: Python, Robot Framework, Playwright, Shell, TCL - Real hardware + cloud exposure: Spirent Test Center, Xena, VirtualBox, VMware, AWS - Protocol depth: L2–L7, OSPF, EIGRP, DNS, HTTPS, TLS — not just surface-level testing I'm actively looking to bring this expertise into a product company where quality is a first-class citizen, not an afterthought.
