What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in cybersecurity where I can apply my skills and grow professionally.

I'm Dhruv Kumar Karn, a Class 11 Computer Science student with a deep passion for cybersecurity. With over three years of self-taught experience, I specialize in web and network security, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities such as XSS, SQLi, CSRF, and IDOR. My journey in cybersecurity has been marked by hands-on experience using tools like Burp Suite, Kali Linux, and Python, which have equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in this field.

Currently, I am pursuing certifications in Google Cybersecurity and Packt's Advanced Ethical Hacking to further solidify my foundation. My work as a Bug Hunter on platforms like Bugcrowd and HackerOne has allowed me to engage in real-world web application security testing and vulnerability assessment. I am eager to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to a dynamic team, where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful impact in the cybersecurity landscape.
