Kushal Nayaka

I’m an “Aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst and Computer Science graduate” with hands-on experience in “Web Application Security” and “Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT).” I actively practice on “PortSwigger Web Security Academy” using “Burp Suite” and “OWASP Top 10 — SQLi, XSS, CSRF,” and I’m preparing for “ISC2 CC (Certified in Cybersecurity).”

As a “Cybersecurity Intern” at STQC (Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification), I assist in vulnerability assessments and security evaluations of IT products and systems, applying OWASP Top 10 and secure coding practices in professional environments. I also bring data-driven experience from my “AI Data Quality Analyst” internship—skills I apply to log analysis and threat detection—while my PortSwigger labs (documented with attack methodology, payloads, and remediation notes) help me communicate findings clearly and take them through to actionable fixes.
