## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for a Junior Penetration Tester, VAPT Analyst, or Application Security role where I can put my CTF practice to work on production systems.
```

## About

```text
On HackerOne, I test web applications for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, including XSS, IDOR, authentication bypass, and injection. I apply a methodology developed through 150+ TryHackMe rooms to live, in-scope bug bounty targets.

During four cybersecurity internships, I gained hands-on VAPT experience across web, mobile, network, and Active Directory environments. I’m finishing a BCA in Computer Science and looking to bring my CTF practice to production security work.
