Who I am - and what I do
PROFESSIONAL 

    I'm a penetration tester and red team operator covering the full attack lifecycle — reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and persistence. My work is heavily focused on Active Directory security, from initial enumeration through cross-domain compromise techniques including Kerberoasting, ACL abuse, DCSync, and trust exploitation aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
    
    On the infrastructure side, I operate C2 frameworks and deploy covert agents, with strong scripting capability in Python and PowerShell for tool development and automation. I conduct threat emulation engagements that mirror real adversary behavior, maintaining strict OPSEC throughout, and I compile professional-grade reports that document findings, impact, and remediation clearly.
    
    I also architect autonomous AI agent systems for offensive coordination — multi-agent frameworks that handle distributed reconnaissance and maintain operational memory across extended engagements while preserving operational security.
