What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment focused on cybersecurity challenges.

I'm a dedicated cybersecurity professional currently pursuing my Master of Science in Cybersecurity Privacy & Trust at The University of Edinburgh. My journey in cybersecurity began with a Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology, where I graduated with distinction. I have hands-on experience in identifying and reporting security vulnerabilities as a Bug Bounty Hunter, where I focus on critical issues such as XSS and SQL Injection. My work has led to significant security improvements on various platforms.

In my previous role as a Cyber Security Analyst Intern, I developed attack simulations that enhanced system defenses and reduced vulnerabilities by 30%. I have also led teams in cloud environments, improving infrastructure efficiency by 25%. My passion for cybersecurity extends beyond technical skills; I have organized Capture The Flag events and contributed to research projects, including a thesis on bug bounty hunting. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute to a forward-thinking organization.
