What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a security-focused team where I can run hands-on testing and SOC monitoring, turn findings into clear remediation, and build practical detection/ML pipelines with engineers who value measurable impact.

I’m a cyber security-focused student with hands-on experience in penetration testing, SOC monitoring, and measurable security improvement. As a Cyber Security Analyst Intern, I conducted black-box and grey-box testing across production web applications, delivered OWASP Top 10/CVE-mapped vulnerability reports, and helped drive a 40% reduction in high-severity open vulnerabilities through remediation roadmaps and follow-up rescans.

I also strengthen defenses end-to-end by building detection and monitoring capabilities—implementing an ELK-based security monitoring stack with Suricata and Falco, configuring eBPF probes and automated alerting, and validating threat detection with anomaly and intrusion-detection ML pipelines. Alongside security work, I freelance as a web developer, building production-ready Next.js/TypeScript sites with 3D WebGL and scroll-driven experiences that are responsive and deployment-ready.
