Kushani De Silva
@kushanidesilva
Cybersecurity student building practical defense tools and hands-on security skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity student with 7+ certifications, including Fortinet FCF and Mastercard/TATA virtual programs, and I bring a strong technical foundation in Linux, Python, and security frameworks. I’m driven to turn academic concepts into real-world defense strategies, especially through hands-on work on high-stakes technology problems.
In my Winter Intern role (Software & Digital Operations) at Easy Cloud, I explored 3+ AI tools and automation ideas to improve productivity and technical experimentation, while also supporting digital marketing campaigns. I also build security-focused tools like AutoReconLite (Bash-based reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning using Nmap NSE) and RedScan CLI (a Python web vulnerability scanner tested against OWASP Juice Shop), and I’ve applied machine learning to a peak-demand forecasting project using ~2 million UCI records with models including LSTM, SVR, and tree-based methods.
