Over deze freelancer
Penetration Tester & Application Security Specialist | OSEP · OSWE
I’m a penetration tester with nearly five years of hands-on experience helping companies find and fix security weaknesses before attackers do. I test web applications, APIs, internal and external networks, Active Directory, and cloud environments (AWS and Azure), and I also do white-box source code reviews.
My testing is manual-first. I go beyond scanner output to find business logic flaws, broken access control, and chained attacks, and I prove their real impact. Every engagement ends with a clear report covering CVSS risk ratings, business impact, and practical steps your developers can follow, and I can retest to confirm the fixes.
I hold eight OffSec certifications, including the OSEP (advanced penetration testing, beyond the OSCP) and the OSWE (advanced web application security). I’ve worked for a cybersecurity consultancy and for enterprise clients such as Wiley.
I work remotely from Sri Lanka, in English, on a project basis. Sri Lanka is 3.5–4.5 hours ahead of the Netherlands, so it’s easy to overlap with Dutch working hours.
