What I'm looking for

I want a role focused on ethical hacking and penetration testing, where I can find vulnerabilities in web apps, APIs, and networks, then help teams reduce risk through clear remediation guidance and continuous security improvement.

I’m a cybersecurity professional specializing in penetration testing and offensive security. I focus on identifying exploitable weaknesses in systems and web applications, then translating findings into clear, actionable remediation recommendations.

In my work with the Compliance Wing, I conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (VAPT) across web applications, networks, and systems. I use tools like Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nessus, and Wireshark to analyze vulnerabilities, validate exploit paths, and inspect network traffic. I also collaborate with cybersecurity teams to strengthen security posture and help implement security best practices.

I’m passionate about continuous security improvement through ethical hacking and risk mitigation. Currently pursuing a BS in Cyber Security (EQF level 6) and I hold the EC-Council CEH certification, reinforcing my commitment to structured, methodical security testing.
