What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an entry-level cybersecurity or SOC role where I can apply network analysis, vulnerability assessment, incident triage, Linux administration, and IAM fundamentals while growing through hands-on security operations work.

I've supported cybersecurity operations as a Cybersecurity Intern at Kshitij, IIT Kharagpur, administering Linux environments and conducting network enumeration, host discovery, and reconnaissance in virtualized lab systems.

I apply structured VAPT methodologies to identify misconfigurations and assess attack surfaces, while using Wireshark packet analysis to detect anomalous traffic patterns and support SOC monitoring and incident triage.

I've also built an automated network vulnerability scanning and enumeration engine with Nmap, Wireshark, Bash, and Linux, alongside Python projects for secure student-record management and high-throughput log and text parsing.
