  • Proven track record of translating complex technical findings into executive-level debriefs and reports.
  • Mastery of OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, and modern authentication infrastructure like SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and JWT.
  • Experience delivering customer-facing or consulting-style engagements end-to-end in a distributed remote environment.
  • Hands-on experience authoring custom static-analysis rules for SAST engines and familiarity with AI-assisted code review workflows.
