What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run OWASP Top 10–aligned VAPT, combine manual testing with SAST (SonarQube), and extend into AI/LLM security testing, while collaborating with a strong security team to deliver actionable remediation.

I’m a cybersecurity enthusiast and VAPT Analyst with experience of software development experience, now specializing in VAPT and application security. I use strong application architecture and code analysis to identify security flaws, logic vulnerabilities, and weaknesses through bug bounty-style thinking.

In my current role, I perform Web Application VAPT aligned with OWASP Top 10, finding injection, auth, and misconﬁguration issues. I also conduct AI Apps & LLM security testing for prompt injection, API abuse, and data exposure risks, and support thick client testing via string analysis and DLL hijacking simulation.

I complement manual testing with SAST analysis using SonarQube to surface insecure code patterns, hardcoded credentials, and injection vulnerabilities. I enjoy working with teams of 5+ security professionals to deliver practical remediation guidance, and I’ve built security tools like a VAPT reconnaissance orchestrator and a code-level security analysis tool.
