What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cyber security while allowing me to contribute to innovative security solutions and collaborate with diverse teams.

As a Senior Cyber Security Consultant with over 7 years of experience, I specialize in Vulnerability Management, Penetration Testing, and Network Security. My expertise lies in mitigating Zero-Day vulnerabilities and leading security audits, which has significantly strengthened the security posture of various enterprises. I am proficient in tools such as Qualys, Burp Suite Pro, Nmap, and MITRE ATT&CK, and I am committed to implementing proactive security measures that drive compliance with standards like ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR.

In my current role at Coforge / IAG Tech, I lead a team focused on zero-day threat mitigation and vulnerability management. My efforts have resulted in a marked increase in vulnerability closure rates and improved incident response times. I take pride in mentoring junior consultants and fostering collaboration between technical teams and stakeholders to ensure aligned security initiatives. My dedication to risk reduction and process automation has led to the development of tailored security training programs that enhance client awareness and responsiveness to security vulnerabilities.
