Customer support candidate with cybersecurity operations experience who investigated alerts and documented clear next steps.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At SkillEcted, I reviewed security logs and alerts, separated real issues from false alarms, and documented findings with clear next steps. I also troubleshot network and endpoint problems using Wireshark and Nmap.
I set up a virtual machine lab to recreate problems safely and checked Nessus and OpenVAS results to remove false positives. I tested web apps for SQL injection and XSS using Burp Suite, then documented what I found.
On my AI SOC Analyzer project for the CanHack 2026 International Hackathon, I built a tool that flags unusual activity in security logs and ranks alerts by importance. I also built Sentinel AI to combine security scan results into a PDF report non-technical readers can follow.
As a UI/UX Design Intern at Tech Elecon Pvt. Ltd., I designed web and mobile screens in Figma and revised prototypes based on team feedback. I’m looking to start in customer support, where I can explain technical issues in plain language and follow problems through to resolution.
