02 ~ About
Penetration Tester by day. Indie maker the rest of the time.
Lance Michael A. Delariarte ~ based in Batangas, Philippines. Building things on both sides of the wire.
I studied IT with a cybersecurity specialization at Mapúa University, then bounced between blue team training at Trend Micro, remote SOC work for a Singapore firm, and finally landed at PwC Makati where I do penetration testing and red team operations for some of the country's largest organizations.
Outside of the day job, I run two small studios. VibePoint Studios is where I ship client work and SaaS — a healthcare staffing site, a California driving school, a meeting intelligence product called Minuto. LancePoint Studios is where I write and release original music. They sound like different worlds but they pull from the same place ~ I like making things, and I like the people on the other end of them.
I've also published two peer-reviewed papers on email/DNS security and computer vision, hold security certs from CompTIA, ISC2, and CyberWarFare Labs, and am preparing for OSCP / CBBH / CPTS through HTB Academy and PortSwigger.
If you're hiring for security work, building a product that needs an extra pair of hands, or just want to talk about how offensive tooling rhymes with frontend craft ~ my inbox is open.
