With 6+ years at the intersection of security and software development, I've walked the path from software engineering to becoming a security specialist. My journey spans from securing mobile apps to implementing enterprise-wide security infrastructure at UpGrad, crafting security signatures at Qualys and doing threat hunting at Harness. Through hands-on experience in vulnerability assessments, threat modeling, and penetration testing, I understand the challenges of breaking into and growing in the security field. As an Instructional Assistant at UNC Charlotte, I've guided 40+ students through security fundamentals, and I'm passionate about demystifying security concepts for engineers looking to transition into cybersecurity. Whether you're a software engineer aiming to pivot into security or a security professional looking to advance, I offer practical insights from my experience implementing secure systems, managing bug bounty programs, and conducting security assessments. My approach combines theoretical knowledge (backed by CEH, PJWT, PMAT certifications) with practical experience. I specialize in: - Web & Mobile Application Security - Threat Modeling & Security Assessments - Network Security & Penetration Testing - Security Tool Mastery (Burp Suite, Wireshark, Metasploit) What sets my mentorship apart is my focus on practical, hands-on guidance. Having transitioned from development to security myself, I understand the roadblocks and can help you: - Build a security-focused career roadmap - Master security concepts through real-world examples - Prepare for security interviews and certifications - Develop a strong security mindset - Navigate the transition from development to security Let's work together to strengthen your security engineering journey - whether you're starting out or looking to level up in your security career. 💪 Book a session to discuss: 🔹 Resume Reviews 🔹 Mock Security Interviews 🔹 Security Concepts Deep Dives 🔹 Career Transition Strategy 🔹 Certification Guidance
