What I'm looking for

Passionate about ethical hacking and continuous learning, seeking roles that emphasize developing secure solutions and fostering cybersecurity education.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with a strong background in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security automation. My expertise includes using tools like Metasploit, Nmap, and Burp Suite to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, ensuring the security of client systems. I am also proficient in programming languages such as Python, C, and Bash, which I leverage to develop custom scripts and tools for security testing.

As a passionate advocate for cybersecurity education, I actively create content on platforms like YouTube and write articles to raise awareness about ethical hacking and secure development practices. My hands-on experience includes developing the Guftagu App, a communication platform built using the MERN Stack, which streamlines note-keeping, chat, and video calls. Additionally, I have participated in numerous Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, refining my skills in real-world hacking scenarios.

I hold a Dual Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Computer Science Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru University, along with certifications from Google and IBM in cybersecurity. My academic background, combined with my practical experience, equips me to deliver robust security solutions and contribute effectively to any organization's cybersecurity goals.
