• Conduct manual and tool-assisted code reviews to identify security vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and insecure implementation choices before code reaches production;

• Perform hands-on penetration testing of web applications, microservices, and APIs to uncover security vulnerabilities and business logic flaws;

• Audit REST and GraphQL APIs and web applications with a strong focus on core application security risks, authentication, authorization, and business logic.
