About Me

I'm a Security Engineer at Simpa Labs, where I run penetration tests and red team engagements for external clients across fintech, enterprise, and critical infrastructure. I also build the software I help protect — from enterprise ERP suites for federal agencies to AI API gateways with automatic failover and production platforms handling tens of thousands of operations daily. CEH certified (96/100), I've reverse-engineered proprietary banking APIs, founded mobile apps, and shipped production software under tight deadlines. Sometimes I sketch wireframes in Paint. It works surprisingly well.
