What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in VAPT, web application security, penetration testing, cybersecurity analysis, and security research, ideally in Gurugram or Delhi NCR.

I've conducted web application vulnerability assessments and penetration testing at Allied Boston Consultants India, using Burp Suite Professional, Nmap, Dirsearch, and SQLmap to identify, analyze, and document security weaknesses.

I founded HackShastra, where I create practical learning resources on ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment, web application security, Linux security, malware analysis, and network security.

I'm building Sentinel-X, with encrypted chat, vulnerability scanning, and port-scanning modules, and I bring hands-on bug bounty research, responsible disclosure, and cybersecurity lab practice to security testing work.
