I am a results-driven Cybersecurity Professional with 3+ years of industry experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering. My background blends a strong technical foundation with real-world experience in threat detection, vulnerability assessment, network security, and incident response.

Through hands-on roles, I’ve developed skills in using tools like Wireshark, Nmap, Burp Suite, Nessus, Splunk, and Metasploit, and working with firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, and endpoint security solutions. I’ve supported teams in implementing security policies, conducting internal audits, and responding to security incidents across hybrid environments.

With a strong foundation in both offensive and defensive security, I aim to contribute to building secure, resilient systems in an increasingly digital world. I continuously pursue certifications and training to stay ahead in this fast-evolving field.

Currently, I am exploring opportunities to grow, contribute, and collaborate in the field of cybersecurity. I am eager to be part of an environment that values continuous learning, ethical responsibility, and a proactive approach to safeguarding information.
