LAKKAPPA PUJER

I’m a cybersecurity-focused Computer Science student with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, network security, and ethical hacking. I’ve worked with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, and Kali Linux to analyze real behaviors, not just run scans.

I approach security work with a clear mindset: understand the system, model threats, validate findings, and document risk in a way a team can act on. Through TryHackMe (Pre-Security Path) and the Forage Cyber Security Analyst simulation, I’ve strengthened my fundamentals across SOC, network security, and Linux concepts.

In labs and projects, I’ve built and tested security outcomes end-to-end. I created a blockchain-based secure e-voting system using Node.js, Ethereum, Ganache, and MetaMask, and I validated controls against common issues like unauthorized access and vote duplication. I also performed web application vulnerability assessments using OWASP Top 10, including XSS and authentication control weaknesses with remediation reporting.

Professionally, I’ve completed an internship where I applied vulnerability assessment methodologies, reviewed network logs, and supported monitoring workflows to flag suspicious patterns for senior analyst review. I’m now seeking a SOC Analyst or Penetration Testing internship where I can help detect threats, improve security coverage, and continuously learn from real incidents.
