My experience includes conducting comprehensive security assessments and collaborating with development teams to enhance security measures against real-world attacks. I leverage my hands-on skills to identify vulnerabilities and provide actionable recommendations for improving web application security.

Throughout my career, I have participated in various competitions, achieving notable placements such as 3rd place at the 2024 Trend Micro National CTF and championing the HackForGov Regional Competition. My certifications, including Security+ and SOC Analyst Path, further solidify my expertise in the field. I am passionate about continuous learning and staying updated with the latest cybersecurity trends and technologies.
