Work Experience

Security Researcher

BugCrowd (Independent)

Feb 2024 - Present

Identified and responsibly disclosed validated web application and API vulnerabilities — including IDOR, authorization bypass, and business logic flaws — through manual testing against OWASP Top 10 vulnerability classes across multiple live bug bounty programs. Built and maintained a structured testing methodology covering recon, manual exploitation, exploitability assessment, and scope validation, consistently achieving low false-positive and duplicate rates across submissions.

Resolved L3 support cases for security-critical production systems — REST APIs, authentication mechanisms, server-side components — maintaining SLA compliance through root cause analysis across logs, network traffic (Wireshark), and database inspection. Owned end-to-end lifecycle of critical infrastructure cases: database maintenance, server upgrades, DC-DR drills, firewall rule configuration, and third-party integration setup across development and production environments. Developed user-input-driven BASH automation scripts for server-side product installation and configuration, eliminating manual steps from repeatable deployment workflows.
