What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my cybersecurity skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on penetration testing and vulnerability assessment while fostering professional growth.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity graduate student with a strong focus on penetration testing, ethical hacking, and vulnerability assessment. My academic journey at the University of Maryland has equipped me with a solid foundation in cybersecurity principles, complemented by hands-on experience in conducting network scans, web application testing, and threat modeling. I pride myself on my ability to identify and mitigate security risks in dynamic environments, utilizing industry-standard tools such as Metasploit, Nessus, and Burp Suite.

During my internship as a Security Analyst at Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd, I conducted comprehensive vulnerability assessments and participated in red teaming exercises, simulating real-world attacks to enhance security measures. My projects, including creating a honeypot to analyze cyberattacks and developing deep learning models for intrusion detection, reflect my commitment to advancing cybersecurity practices. I am eager to contribute my technical skills and insights to a forward-thinking organization.
