Passionate cybersecurity and AI enthusiast with strong analytical skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity and artificial intelligence professional with a strong commitment to protecting sensitive information and ensuring compliance with organizational policies. My journey began with a Bachelor of Technology in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, where I honed my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. I have gained practical experience through internships, including a summer internship at REY SQUAD - HGL, where I conducted penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, and a virtual internship with CISCO AICTE, where I developed foundational knowledge in cybersecurity principles.
My technical skills encompass programming languages such as C, Python, C++, and SQL, along with expertise in cybersecurity tools like SIEM, SOC, Docker, Metasploit, Nmap, Wireshark, and Splunk. I have successfully implemented projects like the Cyber Kill Chain using Metasploit and developed AI-based solutions for secure online assessments. My academic achievements, coupled with certifications in cybersecurity and ethical hacking, reflect my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.
