What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role focused on VAPT, application and cloud security, collaborative developer partnerships, continuous learning, and opportunities to lead remediation and purple-team initiatives.

I am a security engineer focused on designing and implementing advanced cybersecurity solutions, with practical experience conducting VAPT across web, API, network, and mobile platforms. I perform manual and automated testing using tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, Nessus, Nexpose, Postman and MobSF, and deliver clear, actionable vulnerability reports to development teams.

I build reconnaissance and testing tooling in Python and have participated in CTFs (including a Null Ahmedabad win), alongside freelance research and project work demonstrating real-world exploitation and remediation. I hold certifications such as CEH, SecOps CAP and CRTP, and thrive on continuous learning, purple teaming, and improving organizational security posture.
