What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in cybersecurity, ideally in a collaborative environment where I can contribute to real-world security solutions.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity enthusiast currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Engineering. With a strong academic background, including a CGPA of 8.77, I have developed a solid foundation in cybersecurity concepts and practices. My hands-on experience as a Cyber Security Intern has equipped me with practical skills in threat detection, incident response, and security operations.

During my internship at the Center for Cyber Security Studies and Research, I conducted threat detection and incident response, enhancing defense strategies through simulated attack scenarios. I gained proficiency in various security tools, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, and SIEM solutions. My projects, such as the Large-Scale Financial Fraud Analysis and Fraud Detection using Splunk, demonstrate my ability to apply technical skills to real-world security challenges, significantly improving fraud detection efficiency and accuracy.
