About candidate

About you
I'm a Penetration Tester with 1+ year of experience in Web, Mobile (APK & iOS), API, Network, and Thick Client VAPT. I currently work at Sequretek, where I follow OWASP standards and perform red teaming, vulnerability assessments, and security testing for clients like Mumbai Police and IDBI Capital. I hold the eJPT (eLearnSecurity Junior Penetration Tester) certification and continue to sharpen my skills through hands-on testing and continuous learning.
What are you looking for in a new role?
In a new role, I'm looking for an opportunity where I can continue to grow both technically and professionally. I want to be part of a team that values innovation, encourages continuous learning, and provides challenging projects where I can contribute meaningfully—especially in areas like penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and improving overall security posture. A supportive environment that also allows me to explore new tools, techniques, and responsibilities would be ideal.
What you are interested in working with us?
I'm interested in working with your organization because of the impactful work you do in the cybersecurity space. Your focus on [insert specific area if known, like cutting-edge technologies, security innovation, or large-scale VAPT projects] aligns perfectly with my passion for penetration testing and improving application and network security. I believe being part of your team will not only allow me to contribute my skills but also help me grow by working alongside experienced professionals on real-world security challenges.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
One of the most challenging experiences in a past role was during a red teaming engagement where we had to simulate a real-world attack on a client's infrastructure with very limited information. The challenge was to think creatively, stay under the radar, and still achieve the objective. It pushed me to improve my reconnaissance techniques, use stealthy exploitation methods, and collaborate closely with my team. While it was tough, it turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences as it helped sharpen my skills and taught me how to adapt quickly under pressure.
