What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on security roles focusing on VAPT, incident response, and digital forensics at organizations that value rigorous testing, clear reporting, and ongoing professional development.

I am a dedicated, detail-oriented penetration tester with hands-on experience in network security, web application security, and mobile application security for both Android and iOS. I perform in-depth VAPT engagements, identify critical flaws such as SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF, and deliver actionable reports and root-cause analyses to stakeholders.

I have contributed to incident response, including ransomware resolution and reporting to SEBI and CERT-IN, and collaborated on digital forensics with government agencies. I also train and present cybersecurity topics at colleges and universities, demonstrating a commitment to knowledge sharing and continuous professional growth.
