What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in cybersecurity that offers growth opportunities and allows me to apply my skills in real-world scenarios.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity enthusiast currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Cybersecurity. My academic journey at SVKM’s NMIMS has equipped me with a solid foundation in various domains of cybersecurity, including application security, web exploitation, and cloud security. I have consistently maintained a high academic performance, achieving a GPA of 3.6/4.

My professional experience includes internships at KPMG, CyberPeace Foundation, and Bank of Baroda, where I honed my skills in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and incident response. I take pride in my ability to develop innovative solutions, such as a vulnerability management tool that enhances operational efficiency through automation. My achievements in competitive Capture The Flag (CTF) events reflect my commitment to continuous learning and excellence in the field.

As the captain and founder of World Wide Flags, an internationally ranked CTF team, I have demonstrated leadership and teamwork skills. I am passionate about contributing to the cybersecurity community and am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge in a challenging role that fosters growth and innovation.
