What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue hands-on web application and infrastructure security testing, finding and reporting impactful vulnerabilities while working with a collaborative team on vulnerability mitigation and stronger application security.

I've worked as a Cyber Security Analyst at Hyper Space IT India Private Limited since June 2022, performing web application penetration testing and vulnerability assessments across infrastructure, web servers, and database servers.

I use manual testing alongside Burp Suite Professional, Burp Suite Community Edition, Nessus, Nmap, SQLmap, Wireshark, WAPT, Linux, and open-source tools to identify OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. My testing covers SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, IDOR, XXE, broken authentication, authentication bypass, session issues, sensitive data exposure, parameter tampering, and rate-limiting weaknesses.

I've found bugs in HackerOne and BugCrowd programs, earning bounty and appreciation for findings including XSS, XMLRPC issues, OTP bypass, and cookie- and session-related vulnerabilities.

I report vulnerabilities to developers, coordinate daily project priorities with teams, and help reduce attack surfaces by identifying unnecessary open ports. I bring strong problem-solving, troubleshooting, and network-security knowledge across TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/S, switches, routers, IDS, IPS, and firewalls.
