What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in cybersecurity, focusing on hands-on experience and collaboration in a supportive environment.

As a dedicated MSc.IT student specializing in Network Security, I am passionate about cybersecurity and committed to enhancing my skills in this dynamic field. My academic journey at Gujarat University has equipped me with a solid foundation in networking concepts and various security frameworks, including Kali Linux and OWASP Top 10.

In addition to my studies, I have gained practical experience as a freelancer in bug bounty programs, where I successfully identified and reported vulnerabilities such as IDOR and stored XSS. My hands-on experience with tools like Metasploit, Nmap, and Wireshark has further honed my technical abilities, allowing me to contribute effectively to security initiatives.
