Über Yusuf

I’m a penetration tester and security consultant with 3+ years of hands-on experience working on real-world systems in telecom, automotive, insurance, cloud, and IoT environments.

I’ve worked on offensive security projects (web, cloud, infrastructure, mobile) as well as security reviews where clear communication, prioritization, and practical reporting matter just as much as technical findings.

My focus is on:
  • Web & API penetration testing (OWASP Top 10, ASVS, authenticated testing)
  • Black-Box, White-Box and Grey-Box penetration tests
  • Cloud & infrastructure security assessments (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes)
  • Configuration and hardening reviews based on CIS and common industry practices
  • Clear, practical reports that developers and security teams can actually work with
I’ve led and contributed to 50+ penetration testing projects, including enterprise platforms such as billing systems, IoT environments, cloud-native setups, and customer-facing applications. I also have experience teaching and mentoring, which helps me explain findings clearly, and focus on what really matters from a risk perspective.

Clients usually value my work because I:
  • define scope clearly
  • focus on realistic risk instead of inflated findings
  • deliver clean, understandable reports
  • can work directly with developers and security teams
Typical work I take on includes:
  • web, cloud, and infrastructure penetration tests
  • reviewing and validating findings from scans or assessments
  • security hardening and configuration reviews
  • support and guidance during remediation
I’m currently available for penetration testing, security assessments, and consulting engagements, on an hourly or project basis.
