Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Tier 2 SOC Analyst, currently pursuing the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification. I specialize in offensive security, red teaming, and adversary simulation, with hands-on experience in detecting, analyzing, and responding to advanced threats in a SOC environment. My background also includes web development with the MERN stack and financial analysis, which gives me a unique perspective on both the technical and business aspects of cybersecurity.

*Based in Switzerland – available worldwide.

Services

• External & Internal Penetration Testing: Comprehensive assessments targeting public-facing assets and internal networks. Focused on real-world attack vectors, privilege escalation, and lateral movement.
• Web Application Security Testing: In-depth analysis based on the OWASP Top Ten, including injection flaws, XSS, IDOR, authentication bypass, and misconfigurations.
• Social Engineering: Human-layer attacks including pretexting, phishing simulations, and vishing campaigns to assess organizational awareness and security training effectiveness.
• Red Team Operations: Simulated full-scope attacks combining digital intrusion, physical access, OSINT, and evasion techniques to test detection and response capabilities.

Projects

Cloud-Deployed ELK Stack Lab

Elasticsearch, Logstash & Kibana

I set up a test lab in the cloud to gain hands-on experience with technologies, techniques, and procedures related to a SOC environment. The lab features a central server that receives logs from various sources (Windows and Ubuntu servers) via agents and generates alerts, which are received and converted into tickets by an osTicket server.

Honeypot Project

Raspberry Pi & T-Pot 22.04

I developed a honeypot test lab on a Raspberry Pi to analyze TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) associated with intrusion attempts. The lab is directly connected to the internet and regularly receives real attack attempts, allowing for detailed analysis of the methods used by potential attackers.

Offensive Security Labs

SlayerLabs / Hack The Box

Actively engaged in hands-on cybersecurity labs that simulate real corporate networks and are provided through remotely accessible, virtualized environments. Performing comprehensive penetration testing scenarios, including reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation, to gain practical experience with entire network systems rather than isolated targets. Developing advanced skills in identifying misconfigurations, analyzing vulnerabilities, and applying offensive security techniques in a safe, controlled environment designed for both beginners and professionals.
