// WHOAMI

The hacker your security team wishes they had on payroll.

I'm Adrian — a former CTF champion turned offensive security engineer. For over a decade I've been paid to think like the adversary: mapping attack surfaces, chaining exploits, and slipping past defenses that were "unbreakable" on paper.

Then I flip the script — translating every finding into airtight, prioritized defense. I've hardened banks, hospitals, and critical infrastructure against ransomware, phishing, zero-days, insider threats, and AI-driven attacks. Not one system under my watch has been breached.

// WHAT I DO

Full-spectrum offensive & defensive security.

Six disciplines, one operator. From first recon to hardened remediation — nothing gets handed off and lost.

Penetration Testing

Web, network, mobile, and API assessments that find the holes scanners miss — with proof-of-concept exploits.

Cloud Security

Zero-trust architecture and posture hardening across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes — securing identities, workloads, and data.

Malware Analysis

Static and dynamic reverse engineering in Ghidra and IDA to dissect payloads, extract IOCs, and understand attacker intent.

Threat Hunting

Proactive detection of adversaries already inside — hunting living-off-the-land techniques and dormant footholds before they detonate.

Red Team Operations

Full-scope adversary simulation — phishing, physical, and digital — to test whether your people, process, and tech actually hold.

Incident Response

When it's already on fire: rapid containment, forensic root-cause analysis, and clean-state recovery with a full audit trail.

// WHY CHOOSE ME

Most consultants run a scanner. I think like the person trying to ruin your week.

You're not hiring a checklist — you're hiring an adversary who's on your side, and who's done this 500+ times.

01

Attacker's Mindset

I don't test to a template. I improvise, chain, and pivot exactly like a real threat actor — because I've studied thousands of them.

02

Proven Track Record

500+ engagements across finance, healthcare, and government — including Fortune 500 estates and nation-state-grade threats.

03

Zero Breaches on Watch

Every organization under my active protection has stayed breach-free. That's not luck — it's relentless, adversarial diligence.

04

Clear, Actionable Reports

No 200-page PDF dumps. Prioritized findings your engineers can fix this sprint, and an exec summary your board can actually read.

RED TEAM

· AEGIS BANK · 2025

Caught a supply-chain breach in 47 seconds.

A poisoned software update slipped past their legacy tooling. My detection engine flagged the anomalous outbound traffic instantly, isolated the affected hosts, and rolled back the change before a single account was touched.

PENTEST

· ORBITAL · 2024

Zero-trust across 14,000 endpoints in 30 days.

A global fleet with no unified identity layer. I rolled out autonomous EDR and micro-segmentation to every device and site, cutting the attack surface by 96% without a single hour of downtime.

HARDENING

· VERDANT · 2024

Ransomware-proofed 40 hospitals.

Connected medical devices made every site a target. I deployed continuous monitoring and immutable backups across the network — a subsequent ransomware attempt was detected and contained before encryption began.

// HOW I WORK

Recon. Exploit. Report. Harden.

A disciplined methodology that mirrors a real attacker's kill chain — then closes every door I walked through.

01 · RECON

Map the attack surface

OSINT, asset discovery, and enumeration to see your environment exactly as an attacker would — including the shadow IT you forgot about.

02 · EXPLOIT

Breach like a real adversary

Chain vulnerabilities into working exploits — no theoretical findings, only demonstrated impact you can see and understand.

03 · ESCALATE

Prove the blast radius

Pivot deeper, escalate privileges, and reach the crown jewels — quantifying exactly what a breach would cost you.

04 · REPORT

Clear, prioritized remediation

Every finding ranked by real-world risk, with reproduction steps and fixes your engineers can action immediately.

05 · HARDEN

Verify and retest

I come back to confirm every fix holds under the same attack — so the door stays closed for good.

// FROM THE FRONT LINES

Security leaders who sleep better.

"Adrian found a supply-chain intrusion our previous vendor missed for weeks — and contained it in under a minute. He's the difference between a headline and the best of all in this a non-event."

Dana Reyes

CISO, Aegis Bank

"He thinks three moves ahead of any attacker we've faced. Our detection got faster and my team got their weekends back."

Marcus Kade

VP Security, Orbital

"The clearest security report I've read in 20 years. My board finally understood our risk — and signed off on the budget."

Sofia Lund

CTO, Verdant Health

// LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Think you're secure? Let me try to prove otherwise.

Currently available for penetration tests, red-team engagements, and fractional CISO work. Let's find your gaps before someone else does.
