What I'm looking for

I'm looking for cybersecurity, penetration testing, SOC, or broader IT support work where I can strengthen security operations, deliver actionable risk findings, and continue growing across offensive and defensive security.

I've delivered full-scope penetration tests for IPS, from reconnaissance through post-exploitation, producing CVSS-rated reports and risk-prioritized remediation guidance for client stakeholders. I also deployed Splunk, Wazuh, Snort, Suricata, and Wireshark for real-time monitoring, threat detection, and IDS/IPS analysis.

Previously, I secured biometric authentication systems at Vistara (Air India Group), maintaining 99%+ uptime while applying least-privilege access and audit-trail controls. I've also authored banking-focused ransomware and Zero Trust papers, built security automation in Python and Bash, and developed projects spanning a C2 beacon framework, network scanning, traffic monitoring, and cybersecurity policy documentation.
