What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a cybersecurity role where I can apply offensive and defensive skills, contribute to SOC and incident response, work with modern security tooling, and grow through challenging infrastructure security projects.

I'm a Software Engineering graduate with a year of hands-on experience in offensive and defensive cybersecurity, specializing in VAPT, SOC monitoring, and network protection. I have practical experience configuring and managing firewalls, WAFs, EDR/XDR, and vulnerability scanning tools.

I led the deployment of Trend Micro Vision One XDR at a major healthcare network, improving its security posture and protecting sensitive patient data. My internships included penetration testing, anti-phishing measures, and IDS development, which strengthened my threat detection and reporting abilities.

I bring effective communication, a detail-oriented mindset, and a drive to continuously learn and apply current cybersecurity practices to secure infrastructure and support incident detection and response.
