As Offensive Team Lead at National Center of Artificial Intelligence (NCAI), I led a team of cybersecurity researchers in conducting advanced penetration testing, red team operations, and security assessments across web, network, cloud, and enterprise environments. I managed end-to-end offensive security engagements, identifying and validating critical vulnerabilities before they could be exploited by malicious actors. I developed custom security testing methodologies and automation tools that improved assessment efficiency and reporting accuracy. My role involved mentoring junior analysts, overseeing technical training programs, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation. I collaborated closely with AI and cybersecurity research groups to support cutting-edge security projects and threat research initiatives. I successfully led multiple high-impact engagements, helping organizations strengthen their security posture and comply with industry best practices. I provided detailed technical reports and strategic remediation guidance to stakeholders and management teams. Through proactive threat simulations and adversarial testing, I enhanced incident response preparedness and defensive capabilities. I also contributed to cybersecurity workshops, awareness programs, and knowledge-sharing sessions within academia and industry. My leadership and technical expertise played a key role in advancing NCAI's cybersecurity research and offensive security capabilities.
