About candidate

About you
I am an application security engineer with over two years of experience securing financial and fintech systems. My expertise spans advanced penetration testing, risk assessment, threat detection, and compliance-driven security. I have worked extensively on securing APIs, mobile and web applications, third-party integrations, and banking devices such as ATMs and POS systems. With hands-on experience in tools like Burp Suite, Frida, Xposed, and SIEM systems, I specialize in safeguarding high-risk platforms. My strong collaboration with cross-functional teams, quick adaptability to emerging technologies, and commitment to continuous improvement have helped me deliver reliable, scalable, and secure solutions in complex environments
What are you looking for in a new role?
In my next role, I am looking for an opportunity that allows me to leverage my expertise in penetration testing, threat analysis, and incident response while also contributing to the development of robust security frameworks. I seek a position where I can work on cutting-edge technologies, address complex security challenges, and help organizations achieve compliance and resilience against evolving cyber threats. Beyond technical contributions, I am motivated to grow into a leadership role where I can mentor junior team members, drive security best practices, and enhance the organization’s overall security posture through innovation and collaboration
What you are interested in working with us?
I am particularly interested in working with your organization because of its reputation for innovation, commitment to security, and forward-thinking approach in the industry. I am motivated by the opportunity to apply my skills in securing high-impact systems while contributing to projects that require resilience and trust at scale. I value environments where continuous learning and collaboration are encouraged, and I believe your company provides the ideal platform to expand my expertise, refine my methodologies, and make meaningful contributions to protecting mission-critical assets. Working with your team will allow me to align my passion for cybersecurity with an organization that values excellence, innovation, and trust.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
One of the most challenging experiences in my past role was leading penetration testing and incident response for critical banking infrastructure, including APIs, mobile applications, and ATMs. During an engagement, I uncovered a high-risk vulnerability in a third-party integration that could have exposed sensitive customer data. The challenge lay in coordinating between multiple stakeholders—development teams, compliance officers, and third-party vendors—under strict timelines. I not only had to communicate technical risks in a way that was clear to non-technical stakeholders but also ensure immediate mitigation strategies were implemented without disrupting operations. This experience taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of collaboration in handling high-stakes situations

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Application Security Engineer position at your organization. With over two years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, risk assessment, and security governance across fintech and banking systems, I bring a proven ability to secure complex infrastructures and safeguard mission-critical assets.

In my recent roles at Digitt Plus and Trillium Information Security Systems, I led comprehensive security assessments for B2B platforms, APIs, and mobile/web applications. I specialized in advanced penetration testing using tools like Frida, Xposed, Burp Suite, and HTTP Toolkit, uncovering critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation efforts. Additionally, I evaluated cybersecurity solutions such as SIEM, RASP, and endpoint protection systems to strengthen overall defenses. My experience extends to securing financial devices like ATMs and POS systems, ensuring both physical and software-level compliance with banking standards.

Beyond technical expertise, I thrive in collaborative environments where I work closely with DevOps, compliance, and SOC teams to deliver secure, scalable, and compliant systems. I take pride in generating detailed security reports, aligning with regulatory frameworks, and continuously improving testing methodologies.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, passion, and problem-solving mindset to your organization. I believe that my background aligns closely with your needs, and I am eager to contribute to your mission of delivering secure and innovative solutions.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team’s success.

Sincerely,
