Cyber security analyst specializing in application and API penetration testing, vulnerability management, and security automation to improve risk outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Security Analyst with a strong BCA foundation and hands-on experience in security analysis. I focus on producing comprehensive security reports, developing innovative solutions, and using automation scripts to enhance operational efficiency.
As an Associate Consultant Cyber Defence at HTS Consulting, I perform application security assessments and API-level vulnerability reviews, collaborating with developers to strengthen secure coding practices. I implement security automation for compliance validation across GitHub repositories with Checkmarx scanning, and I run in-depth penetration testing across web applications, APIs, Android applications, Large Language Models (LLMs), and network infrastructure using tools like Burp Suite, Nuclei, and Nmap.
I’ve also delivered end-to-end Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) workflows at RedHuntLabs and Seciq Technologies LLP, combining OSINT techniques (including GitHub monitoring) with Nessus-based scanning and automated CPS framework scripts. I established a vulnerability management process with YouTrack, communicated clearly with stakeholders for remediation, and helped drive measurable improvement—such as a 30% reduction in application vulnerabilities—alongside receiving security-focused recognition in 2024.
