I work where identity, risk assessment and offensive security meet — building tooling that turns heavy security processes into something teams can actually run.
01 — About
Practical security, well engineered.
I'm a cybersecurity engineer focused on the overlap between access management, compliance and the offensive side of security. Rather than treat these as separate worlds, I build software that connects them — from biometric IAM platforms to assessment tooling mapped against the major frameworks.
My approach is hands-on: understand the threat, model the controls, then ship a tool that makes the right thing the easy thing.
02 — Expertise
What I do.
Assessment & Compliance
Security readiness assessments mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, CIS v8 and OWASP — with clear, reportable outcomes.
Offensive Security
Penetration testing and agentic security automation — finding the gaps before someone else does.
Security Tooling
Desktop and web applications that operationalise security work — from data capture to print-ready reporting.
