Cybersecurity
Application security, SOC, and cyber forensics focus areas within a national cybersecurity innovation hub.
Skills, and where they were used
Each skill is tied to the employer where it was actually applied, not listed as a keyword.
Black-Box Testing
Testing a system from the outside — inputs and observable outputs only, no source access and no assumptions about what sits underneath. Leaned on hardest during vulnerability assessments across 10+ Complinity projects, where the useful question was never "does this code look correct" but "what does this endpoint actually do when I send it something it wasn't expecting."
- Functional techniques: equivalence partitioning and boundary-value analysis to shrink a huge input space down to the cases that actually break things; decision tables and state-transition testing for the rule-heavy GRC workflows
- Security side: unauthenticated surface probing, input fuzzing, and DAST runs against deployed builds — the same outside-in stance, pointed at what an attacker can actually reach
- The shader case study on this site is the purest example: a live production WebGL effect recovered from a minified bundle with zero source access, then validated by reimplementing it from observed behaviour alone
DevSecOps
Security folded into delivery pipelines rather than bolted on afterward. Ringed here as one of the core, load-bearing skills — borrowing astrobiology's "habitable zone," the band where conditions are just right.
Microservices
Led two separate monolith-to-microservices migrations — domain decomposition, API-first design, and containerized deployment. Ringed here as one of the core, load-bearing skills.
Cloud-Native (AWS/GCP)
AWS and GCP-backed deployment for containerized, horizontally-scaled services.
Java / Spring Boot
The constant across a decade of roles — from government portals to enterprise GRC platforms. Ringed here as one of the core, load-bearing skills.
Blockchain
Contributed to blockchain technology initiatives alongside NABL.
AI/ML Strategy
Coached engineering teams on adopting AI-assisted development practices.
Agile / Scrum
3+ years leading Agile Scrum delivery across cross-functional teams.
Solutions Architecture
End-to-end architecture for GRC platforms and ERM/ERP portal builds.
