What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security engineering role focused on detection, secure development practices, and incident response in collaborative, learning-focused teams.

I am a cybersecurity-focused software engineer with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and secure system design. I built ML-driven detection systems and automated scanning tools that improved threat identification and developer remediation workflows.

During a cybersecurity internship I implemented SIEM monitoring, conducted penetration tests, and helped integrate secure coding practices, contributing to a 40% improvement in security posture and a 30% faster incident response time. I lead campus initiatives, organizing awareness campaigns and workshops that reached hundreds of students.

I combine practical tool experience (Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, OWASP ZAP) and cloud/container familiarity (AWS, Azure, Docker) with programming in Python, JavaScript, Java, and C++ to deliver secure, production-ready systems. I seek roles where I can continue building detection systems, improve security engineering practices, and mentor peers.
