Soroush Babaei

Web & API Pentest • Secure Code Review • Offensive Research

Hi, I’m Soroush — a web penetration tester and cybersecurity researcher based in Tehran. I test enterprise B2B web apps and APIs, review code, and turn vulnerabilities into clear reports teams can actually fix.

About Me

I like finding the bugs that matter—and explaining them clearly.

I work on web application and API penetration testing, secure code review, and vulnerability research. At Chargoon, I assess enterprise B2B products with a focus on authentication, authorization, access control, and critical business workflows.

Before moving deeper into offensive security, I worked as a deep learning engineer at Roshan, building Python-based models for time-series forecasting and market prediction. That mix of software, ML, and security shapes how I investigate problems today.
