What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on security roles where I can perform penetration tests, improve security posture, work with cross-functional teams, and continue growing in cloud and offensive security.

I am a penetration tester and ethical hacker with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and threat analysis. I have conducted comprehensive assessments of web applications and network systems using tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, and collaborated with IT teams to remediate findings and harden environments.

I have practical experience from roles at SCM Garments and Detective International and from freelance bug bounty work, with projects that include identifying an IDOR on bennyhillsindia.com and testing wikitechy.com. I stay current with emerging threats and cloud security trends (AWS, Azure) and hold certifications including Ethical Hacker and Cisco certifications listed for 2025.
