Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMason Crane is a software engineer and web application penetration tester based in Albuquerque with 11 years of experience blending web/mobile development, freelance client work, and hands-on security consulting. He hunts business logic flaws, API oversights, and sanitization gaps using tools like Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nessus, and custom Python scripts, translating technical findings into clear client-facing reports. Mason has moved between roles at Optiv, Digi, and Evolve Security while continuing freelance web development since 2011, giving him a practical sense of how production systems are built and how real users interact with them. Comfortable across LAMP/MEAN stacks, AWS, and common web vulnerabilities (XSS, SQLi), he pairs offensive testing skills with developer empathy to prioritize fixes that reduce real business risk. Past clients and colleagues praise his rapid learning curve, communication, and ability to bridge development and security teams. A detail that surprises clients: he combines formal cybersecurity training with years of hands-on web product ownership, so he approaches assessments with both attacker tactics and product-minded solutions.
