  • Experience creating and presenting technical materials, both live and in recordings 
  • Experience identifying common (OWASP Top 10/CWE Top 25) web application vulnerabilities through secure code review (Java, .Net, Go, C, C++, C#, Swift, Kotlin, Python)
  • Experience conducting manual Web Application Penetration Test
  • Experience evaluating modern web application components, architecture, and design principles
  • Ability to explain vulnerability risks and remediation options to developers

Who you are
