What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on application and API security where I can lead vulnerability testing, improve secure development practices, collaborate cross-functionally, and support audit and compliance efforts.

I am a results-driven cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in application security, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing. I have secured high-profile applications such as Passport Seva and G20 Web Apps, led incident response efforts, and ensured STQC audit compliance while driving secure development practices.

I leverage tools like Burp Suite, MobSF, Fortify, WebInspect, CheckMarx, Nessus, and Postman, and apply OWASP Top 10 and API security principles to mitigate threats. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to report and remediate API-level issues and continuously monitor risk to strengthen organizational security posture.
