Contributed to the rapid7/metasploit-framework repository by developing and enhancing modules for vulnerability scanning, payload execution, and data extraction across Windows AArch64 and MongoDB targets. Applied Ruby, Assembly, and C to build payload workflows, refactor module reloading logic, and implement robust error handling and modular design. Improved MongoDB vulnerability coverage with new memory disclosure modules and scanner enhancements, focusing on reliability and maintainability. Delivered cross-platform build guidance and JSON output refactoring for browser data gathering, enabling better integration and analytics. The work emphasized secure coding, code review adherence, and clear documentation, strengthening the framework’s backend and post-exploitation capabilities.
