What I'm looking for

I seek cybersecurity roles where I can apply offensive and defensive skills, work on incident response and secure network design, mentor teams, and continue learning in a compliance-focused environment.

I am an experienced cybersecurity professional with about 3 years safeguarding BFSI and government sectors, specializing in VAPT, red teaming, threat hunting, secure network design, and incident response management.

I have practical hands-on experience in SIEM monitoring, penetration testing, digital forensics, and compliance (PCI-DSS, ISO27001, NIST), and have used tools such as Nessus, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Splunk, Seceon, IBM QRadar and various CTI and DFIR toolsets.

I have delivered over 100 VAPTs, helped build a Cyber Emergency Response Team, presented at DUBSEC on SSH tunnelling, and conducted research on AI-driven disaster recovery—I seek roles where I can apply offensive and defensive skills to improve security posture and mentor others.
