Red Team Operator | Penetration Tester

I help organizations understand how weaknesses can be discovered, validated, and remediated through realistic offensive security testing, clear evidence, and practical reporting.

defensive research

Defensive Perspective

Alongside offensive testing, I maintain a strong interest in Blue Team disciplines, especially malware analysis, digital forensics, threat hunting, intelligence-led detection, SIEM workflows, and EDR telemetry.

Malware Analysis

Understanding malicious behavior, execution flow, indicators, and how offensive tradecraft appears from a defensive lens.

Digital Forensics

Focusing on traces, artifacts, timelines, and evidence that help reconstruct activity after suspicious or malicious events.

Threat Hunting & Intelligence

Exploring SIEM workflows, EDR telemetry, detection logic, and intelligence-led approaches for identifying attacker behavior.
