Cybersecurity expert and certified ethical hacker specializing in penetration testing, digital forensic investigation, and threat intelligence. Currently Manager of Academic Alliances at Zscaler.
I'm a skilled ethical hacker with a strong computer science background and a passion for protecting systems and networks from malicious attacks. I'm proficient across a wide range of tools and techniques for identifying vulnerabilities and simulating cyber-attacks — thinking creatively to find solutions that measurably improve an organization's security posture.
I'm also a highly skilled digital forensic investigator with experience investigating cyber-crimes and collecting and analyzing digital evidence. Using specialized tools and techniques, I extract and preserve evidence from computers, smartphones, and servers — analyzing complex data to identify patterns and draw conclusions while maintaining strict chain-of-custody integrity.
