I secure enterprise web applications and APIs through penetration testing.

India
Message

At Tata Consultancy Services, I perform web application and API penetration testing for enterprise systems, identifying authentication, authorization, injection, and misconfiguration vulnerabilities.

I test REST APIs for input validation, business logic flaws, and access-control weaknesses, and conduct network security testing to uncover open ports and exposed services. I deliver detailed assessment reports with risk ratings, business impact, and actionable remediation guidance.

I've received multiple Star of the Month awards for identifying critical and high-impact vulnerabilities and have been recognized at client and account level for security contributions. I stay current with emerging threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, and exploitation techniques while working closely with development and QA teams to strengthen security posture.
