What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an entry-level SOC L1, Network Security, or Junior Penetration Tester role where I can apply my internship experience and hands-on security skills to protect systems and networks while continuing to grow.

I'm building my cybersecurity career through hands-on ethical hacking, web application penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and SOC L1 fundamentals.

During my six-month internship at GICSEH Data Security Pvt. Ltd., I performed network scanning, service enumeration, and vulnerability identification using Nmap and Nessus. I also supported web application testing against the OWASP Top 10 and documented vulnerability findings under supervision.

I've analyzed suspicious network activity with Wireshark, reviewed logs, and developed an Advanced Website Vulnerability Scanner in Python to identify common web vulnerabilities.

I'm preparing for CEH v13 and looking to apply my practical security skills to help protect systems and networks while growing as a security professional.
