My role at Waterstons is...

As a penetration tester, it is my job to think like an attacker; in order to stay one step ahead to protect our clients from compromise. I engage in penetration testing in addition to other security services as part of Cyber Assurance, assuring security of clients from various angles. When I am not engaged with technical aspects such as assessing/exploiting systems; I utilise my consultant skillset to communicate with clients in a variety of methods helping clients understand and successfully mitigate risks.

My life away from work is...

Involves self-study of particular areas in Offensive Security, but on the odd occasion I like to have some time away from it all engaging in other activities.

I’ll be with you when...

You require a security assessment to ensure your system is secure and how you can proceed to defend yourself from identified risks. Additionally, if there's any other way I can be of help to you.

My sector strengths are...

Open Source Intelligence, Network Penetration Testing, Linux Systems Administration, Red Teaming, Social Engineering.
