Alexander King is a technical penetration tester with a decade of hands-on experience in web application security, mobile security, and modern binary exploitation. He has progressed through roles at NetSPI into senior and managerial responsibilities, mentoring consultants, running performance reviews, and shaping career roadmaps while continuing to perform deep technical assessments across web, cloud, thick client, and external attack surfaces. His open-source work on Windows privilege-escalation tooling (notably contributions to Tokenvator) demonstrates practical expertise in Windows internals, UAC bypasses, and token manipulation. Now based in Wildwood, Florida and currently at BPM LLP, he combines consultant-level communication and reporting with low-level exploit development skills—an uncommon blend that helps him both find complex flaws and guide teams to remediate them.
