What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level penetration testing or cybersecurity role where I can assess web and network vulnerabilities, automate security testing, apply OWASP-aligned methodologies, and continue building hands-on offensive security skills.

I've tested OWASP Juice Shop, identifying and exploiting 25+ vulnerabilities including SQL Injection, Broken Access Control, and XSS using Burp Suite Professional.

I automated DAST scans by integrating OWASP ZAP into a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline, reducing manual vulnerability triage time by 40% through scripted scans and custom alerting. I've also performed Linux-based network reconnaissance with Nmap, Wireshark, Macchanger, and Whois to map attack surfaces.

Through internships with Edureka and the AICTE-IBM Edunet Foundation program, plus Deloitte Australia's cyber job simulation, I've built practical experience in vulnerability assessment, threat identification, incident analysis, risk management, and security reporting.
