What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role where I can lead VAPT and incident response, strengthen cloud defenses, mentor teams, and integrate security into DevOps in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a results-driven cybersecurity analyst and consultant with proven expertise in ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT), threat detection, malware analysis, incident response, and SOC operations. I design and implement security solutions that reduce risk, improve resilience, and align with business goals while mentoring aspiring professionals.

Currently strengthening cloud-based defenses with Microsoft Azure Security (AZ-500) study, I lead incident response, integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, monitor SIEM alerts, and deliver security awareness training. My background includes hands-on work with tools like BurpSuite, Nmap, Metasploit, Wazuh, Nessus, and Security Onion across enterprise networks, web applications, and cloud environments.
