What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role where I can lead VAPT, collaborate with security teams, and continuously improve defenses using tools like Burp Suite, Nessus, and Wireshark across real web, network, and system assets.

I’m a Penetration Tester performing VAPT on web applications, networks, and systems, focused on identifying vulnerabilities and driving remediation. I work closely with cybersecurity teams to improve the organization’s overall security posture.

I use industry-standard tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nessus, and Wireshark to conduct vulnerability assessments and security testing. I also perform exploitation in simulated attack environments to validate weaknesses and support actionable fixes.

Through my cybersecurity education and hands-on experience, I’ve built a strong foundation in penetration testing, ethical hacking, and network security, supported by coursework in Network Security, Ethical Hacking, Cryptography, Digital Forensics, and Secure Software Development. I bring collaborative, communicative teamwork—strengthened through leadership roles like Class Representative and Sports Secretary—to keep security work clear, prioritized, and effective.
