About candidate

About you

What are you looking for in a new role?
I am a cybersecurity expert with over 6 years of experience specializing in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, web app security, and threat intelligence. I have trained professionals at top organizations like PwC, Accenture, and Punjab National Bank, delivering hands-on cybersecurity education. My expertise includes conducting risk assessments, implementing security policies, and designing robust defense strategies. I hold multiple certifications, including CEH, OSCP, and CCNA, and have experience with Python, Rust, Golang, and other programming languages for security applications.
What you are interested in working with us?
With my extensive experience in cybersecurity, penetration testing, and training, I am eager to contribute my skills to your team. I am passionate about securing digital infrastructures, conducting risk assessments, and educating professionals on the latest security threats. Working with your organization will allow me to apply my expertise in real-world scenarios, collaborate with like-minded professionals, and further enhance security measures to combat evolving cyber threats.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
One of the most challenging experiences in my past role was leading high-priority vulnerability assessments at PwC India. Managing the entire process—from conducting burp tests on production and non-production environments to analyzing vulnerability scans—required precision and problem-solving under tight deadlines. A major challenge was filtering out false positives from client-provided tools to ensure accurate reporting. Collaborating with clients to troubleshoot network and scan-related issues while maintaining clear communication was crucial. This experience strengthened my analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage critical security operations effectively.
