Control Plane: Review IAM policies, service configurations, and cloud-native permission structures.
Data Plane & Web UI: Execute dynamic testing against web interfaces and API endpoints.
Infrastructure Review: Assess the security posture of a hybrid infrastructure that mixes containers and Virtual Machines (VMs) infrastructures.
Vulnerability Reporting & Advisory: Triaging findings and creating clear, reproducible proofs-of-concept (PoCs).
AI-Augmented Security Assessments: Actively utilize AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate reconnaissance, generate attack vectors, analyze configurations, and draft vulnerability reports.
Pipeline Management: Monitor bug bounty pipelines and external reports, validating findings and managing researcher communication.

Multi-Cloud Fluency: Demonstrate a deep architectural understanding of GCP and AWS.
Container Security: Proven experience auditing and hardening managed container services (GKE Autopilot/Standard, EKS, ECS) and self-hosted/unmanaged workloads (K8s, k3s, OCI-runc).
