What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can contribute to SOC monitoring, threat analysis, incident response, and defensive security while continuing to build hands-on technical skills.

I've built a virtual SOC homelab with Wazuh SIEM to monitor Windows Server 2022 and Ubuntu Server, simulate attacks from Kali Linux, analyze logs, monitor alerts, and investigate incidents. I also developed A11safe, a Flask-based web honeypot that detects suspicious uploads and payloads, tracks IP geolocation, and sends automated email alerts.

Through internships with Code Virus Security and Edunet Foundation, plus ongoing TryHackMe practice, I've gained hands-on exposure to threat analysis, SOC workflows, OSINT, web vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, cloud technologies, and defensive security techniques. I'm also a CTF player and earned first position in the Chaitanaya CTF.
