What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic organization that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in penetration testing and cloud security. My journey began with a BSc (Hons) in Cyber Security from Sri Lanka Technological Campus, where I graduated at the top of my class, earning a Gold Medal for Academic Excellence. My academic background has equipped me with the necessary skills to tackle complex security challenges in today's digital landscape.

During my internship at the London Stock Exchange Group, I honed my skills in application security by conducting penetration tests on critical financial systems and developing SIEM solutions using Elastic Stack. My experience at AlphaSpike further solidified my expertise, where I developed automation features and ensured compliance with security standards. As a freelance cybersecurity researcher, I have implemented security monitoring solutions and contributed to responsible vulnerability disclosures, showcasing my commitment to enhancing cybersecurity resilience.
