Work on authorized cybersecurity and vulnerability testing engagements using an AI-powered security platform. Perform reconnaissance and web application security testing within defined program scope. Manually validate AI-generated vulnerability findings and assess real-world security impact. Analyze HTTP requests/responses, endpoints, attack surface data, and automated scan results. Evaluate accuracy of AI-assisted vulnerability detection, including false positives and missed issues, and document technical observations with security feedback based on testing evidence.

Contribute to web application and infrastructure security assessments across multiple projects. Perform reconnaissance, service enumeration, vulnerability validation, and security testing using Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, Wireshark, and Kali Linux. Support identification and analysis of security weaknesses and assist with remediation recommendations. Contribute to technical documentation, assessment reporting, and security validation activities while collaborating remotely and on-site.

Build practical skills through hands-on labs in web application security, vulnerability assessment, and security analysis. Use Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, Nessus, and Splunk in controlled environments. Apply OWASP Top 10 principles and penetration testing methodologies while preparing for CompTIA PenTest+.
