Graduate student specializing in Cybersecurity, eager to enhance security infrastructures.
What I'm looking for
I am a graduate student with a strong foundation in Cybersecurity principles and tools, currently pursuing my Master of Science in Cybersecurity at the University of Delaware. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of computer networks, system hardening, and web application security. I am passionate about applying my knowledge in real-world scenarios and am seeking a challenging full-time position to further develop my skills.
Throughout my internships, I have gained hands-on experience in various cybersecurity roles. At the Center for Cyber Security Studies & Research, I engaged with real-world cyber threat scenarios and contributed to the development of comprehensive security policies. My analytical skills were further honed during my time at the Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) India, where I navigated the Dark Web and investigated data breaches, enhancing threat response measures significantly. My projects, including a Meta Heuristics Based Cybersecurity Solution, have allowed me to publish my findings and present at international conferences, showcasing my commitment to advancing cybersecurity practices.
