Nainish Kelhe
@nainishkelhe
Cybersecurity analyst and automation specialist focused on penetration testing, bug bounty, and security automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity analyst and automation specialist with hands-on experience in bug bounty, penetration testing, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. I combine offensive security techniques with data-driven threat detection to reduce risk.
I've discovered high-severity issues such as hardcoded API keys and insecure OAuth redirects in large platforms, and reported metadata disclosure and other vulnerabilities through coordinated programs. My findings helped prevent unauthorized access and potential account takeover scenarios.
On the automation side, I built 10+ end-to-end Python tools for scraping, cybersecurity analysis, and workflow automation, including a news aggregator processing 500+ articles per day and a PDF intelligence extractor parsing 1,000+ filings. I improved efficiency and productivity through robust error handling, logging, and web automation.
I hold a Google Cybersecurity certification and practical project experience in anomaly detection, DDoS simulation, credential-theft simulation for EDR validation, and machine-learning email classification. I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to securing systems and scaling detection workflows.
