What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in cybersecurity that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with over a year of experience in digital forensics and incident response. My journey began with a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, followed by a Master of Science in Cybersecurity, where I honed my skills in forensics, data governance, and cloud security. I have a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles and a passion for protecting digital assets.

Throughout my internships, I have collaborated on various projects that enhanced my technical abilities and contributed to significant improvements in forensic imaging and security awareness. Notably, I developed a detection model for IoT malware using deep learning, achieving impressive accuracy rates. My experience includes working with law enforcement to aid in cybercrime investigations, which has deepened my understanding of the real-world implications of cybersecurity.

I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to innovative cybersecurity solutions while continuing to grow professionally. I am particularly interested in opportunities that emphasize teamwork, continuous learning, and impactful projects.
