SUMMARY
Backend engineer and security researcher who builds and breaks. 3+ years shipping production Node.js /
TypeScript systems, combined with hands-on offensive and application security — OWASP Top 10, red-
team / phishing simulation, OSINT, malware and Android reversing. I founded a dev studio that ships client
web apps with a security review before every release, and I co-organize a national youth CTF. I bring a
developer's context to security work: I can find the bug, exploit it, and then write the fix.

CORE SKILLS
Application Security: OWASP Top 10 / API Security Top 10, secure code review, threat modeling, auth &
access control (JWT/RBAC), Burp Suite
Offensive Security: red-team / phishing & social-engineering simulation (evilginx, MITM), OSINT /
reconnaissance, malware analysis, Android reversing (APK / smali), CTF
Backend & APIs: Node.js, Express, TypeScript, JavaScript, REST, WebSockets, Socket.IO, Protobuf,
webhooks, rate limiting
Automation: BullMQ, Puppeteer (browser automation, anti-bot handling), Telegraf (Telegram bots)
AI & Agents: MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, LLM integration, AI-agent orchestration, prompt
engineering
Data & Infra: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis; Linux, Docker, Nginx, Cloudflare, DNS, VPS, Google
Cloud, Git, CI/CD

EXPERIENCE
Founder & Security-focused Developer — Vapan · vapan.org · 2024 – present · Remote
Founded and lead a small studio (developers, designers, security) that designs and ships client web
applications with security built into delivery.
• Run an OWASP-based security review before every client release — finding and fixing web and API
vulnerabilities.
• Lead development on Node.js / Vue / Nuxt; own scoping, delivery and remediation across 20+ client
projects.
Backend Engineer & Security Researcher — Freelance & Contract · 2022 – present · Remote
• Designed and shipped REST / WebSocket APIs on Node.js + TypeScript for production apps with
thousands of users; implemented JWT/RBAC auth and secure third-party / payment integrations.
• Built Telegram bots (Telegraf), BullMQ pipelines and Puppeteer browser automation.
• Offensive & application security: web & API vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10 / API Security Top 10), red-team
/ phishing & MITM scenarios with evilginx, OSINT and target profiling, malware analysis and Android
reversing (APK / smali), tooling with Burp Suite.

CYBERSECURITY & COMMUNITY
• Co-organizer of CTF Junior League (national youth cybersecurity competition) and active CTF player.
• Run a cybersecurity channel and publish technical write-ups (vapan.org · Instagram @vapan_it).
