A breach costs more than a pentest.

I find the vulnerabilities in your systems before someone exploits them. Structured methodology, written deliverables, and a report your team can act on.

Background

I started as a full-stack developer. That background changes how I test — I know how applications are built, which means I know exactly where developers leave gaps.

My training covers the full offensive attack surface: web exploitation, Active Directory attacks, network pivoting, privilege escalation and post-exploitation techniques. I don't just find vulnerabilities — I explain why they exist, what a real attacker would do with them, and how to fix them correctly.

I work remotely with startups and SMBs across Latin America, the US and Europe. Fixed-price engagements, bilingual delivery, and a free re-test to confirm your fixes actually hold.
