What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and fosters growth in cybersecurity, with a focus on hands-on experience and innovative solutions.

I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented Cybersecurity Analyst with a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles and a passion for protecting digital assets. My academic journey, combined with hands-on internship experiences, has equipped me with the skills necessary to contribute effectively to an organization’s security posture.

During my internships, I performed Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) on multiple enterprises, identifying critical vulnerabilities and submitting detailed technical reports. My projects, such as developing a GUI-based data recovery tool, showcase my ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios. I am committed to continuous learning, as evidenced by my ongoing training in Bug Bounty Hunting and certifications in Ethical Hacking.
