What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in cyber security that fosters growth and innovation.

I am Siddhesh P. Patil, a dedicated cyber security professional currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Cyber Security and Forensic Information Technology at the University of Portsmouth. My journey in the tech field began with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, where I developed a solid foundation in programming languages such as Python, Java, and SQL. My academic projects, including a Face Recognition based Profile Management System, have honed my technical skills and prepared me for real-world challenges.

In my recent internships at Shadowfox and HacktifyCS, I gained hands-on experience in penetration testing and cyber security tools, including nmap, wireshark, and Metasploit. I have successfully identified vulnerabilities and contributed to comprehensive reports detailing my findings. My professional experience as a Software Engineer/Analyst at Capgemini allowed me to integrate Google Analytics, manage testing environments, and implement responsive designs, ensuring a seamless user experience. I am passionate about continuous learning and actively engage in community service and workshops to enhance my skills.
