└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

I am an Application Security Engineer with a First-Class Honours degree in Computing from Coventry University and currently pursuing an MS in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance at the University of Central Missouri (Class of 2026).

My work focuses on securing software systems through penetration testing, threat modelling, and integrating security into development pipelines. I have hands-on experience with SAST, DAST, OWASP Top 10, STRIDE, and securing MERN stack applications in production environments.
