I’ve learned that even "perfect code" can't save a system if the underlying design is flawed. While automated scanners are great at catching syntax errors, they often miss the missing logic and improper design that a human eye can spot. With nearly 2 years of experience in grey-box penetration testing and DAST, I help developers see their code through the eyes of an attacker How I help teams build better * OWASP-Driven Testing: I don't just "scan" for bugs; I conduct thorough assessments based on OWASP Top 10 standards to find the vulnerabilities that matter most. * Logic-Focused Testing: I specialize in finding those tricky business logic issues and authorization flaws that stem from how a system is put together, not just how it’s coded. * Quality Over Quantity: I use Burp Suite Pro for deep-dive manual validation to clear out false positives, giving remediation teams 100% accurate data they can actually use. * Smart Prioritization: By bringing threat modeling into the SDLC, I help teams focus their energy on high-impact risks rather than getting bogged down by minor bugs. * A collaborative Approach: I don't just hand over a list of problems; I partner with cross-functional teams to explain the why behind design threats and help turn findings into real architectural wins.
