Cybersecurity-focused backend developer and penetration tester delivering measurable risk reduction.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity-focused backend developer and penetration tester with hands-on experience in web, API, and infrastructure security. I have executed penetration tests across multiple targets, authored CVSS-scored reports, and validated developer patches to reduce client risk exposure.
As a backend developer intern, I improved release quality by executing functional and regression tests for RBAC and by performing API security testing across microservices, which reduced post-release defects and improved MTTR. I have deployed and automated secure VPN infrastructure and built offensive security tooling for Windows forensics and monitoring.
I hold several practical certifications and have placed in national and international CTFs and hackathons, demonstrating both offensive skill and collaborative problem solving. I seek roles where I can combine secure backend engineering with hands-on offensive security to drive measurable security improvements.
