What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Cybersecurity Analyst, SOC Analyst, or Penetration Testing role where I can apply offensive and defensive expertise at scale—delivering VAPT, SOC-ready detection work, and threat intelligence that continuously reduces risk.

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Analyst and Penetration Tester with hands-on experience in VAPT, red team operations, threat intelligence, and incident analysis across real production environments. I uncover critical vulnerabilities, map attacker TTPs using MITRE ATT&CK, and produce audit-ready reports with CVSS scoring and actionable remediation guidance.

In my VAPT & Security Operations internship, I performed OWASP Top 10-based Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing on internal web applications, identifying 25+ vulnerabilities and delivering step-by-step fixes. I used Nmap, Nessus, and Metasploit for network penetration testing, traced anomalies through deep packet inspection on 200+ Wireshark captures, and helped accelerate developer remediation cycles with risk-categorized documentation.

I also supported threat intelligence and security QA work, leading MITRE ATT&CK TTP mapping for telecom fraud campaigns and strengthening detection through runbooks and automation-driven improvements. Whether I’m validating security with Postman/Cypress/Playwright or analyzing IOC patterns and detection gaps, I prioritize repeatable processes, measurable risk reduction, and defenses that scale.
