01. Discovery _

I’m a Senior Security Researcher, my roots are in the terminal. I don't just scan for vulnerabilities; I think like an attacker to build defenses that actually hold up. Most of my day is spent leading enterprise red teaming and cloud vulnerability research—uncovering critical attack chains across complex distributed infrastructures.

Beyond the security research, I’m a technical content creator helping a community of 100K+ learners at @Viral_Codes navigate programming, Open Source, and cybersecurity. My goal is to bridge the gap between complex offensive security and the developers building the next generation of tech.
