IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity and digital forensics enthusiast with hands-on experience in penetration testing, incident response, and mobile and disk forensics. I have practical experience using Oxygen Forensics, Autopsy, FTK Imager and Volatility to recover artifacts and reconstruct timelines.
During internships I executed web application testing with Burp Suite and SQLmap, supported firewall configuration and SIEM monitoring, and automated forensic triage with Python scripts that reduced analysis time by 60%. I documented chain-of-custody, produced incident reports, and designed phishing simulation and awareness analyses.
I am pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science (Cyber Security) and hold multiple certifications and coursework in cybersecurity fundamentals, threat intelligence, and red-team basics. I seek roles where I can contribute to digital forensics, blue team operations, and cyber defense while continuing to grow technical expertise.
