About me
Welcome to my cybersecurity corner! I'm a dedicated cybersecurity enthusiast currently pursuing a Master of Science in Applied Cybersecurity at Queen's University Belfast. My passion lies in unraveling complex security challenges and sharing insights that bridge the gap between intricate technical concepts and practical understanding.
With certifications as a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI), I've immersed myself in the realms of ethical hacking and cyber forensics. My professional journey includes a pivotal role as a Cybersecurity Analyst at Tata Consultancy Services, where I responded to live ransomware attacks and conducted penetration testing for over 20 clients, strengthening their security infrastructures.
Highlights of my journey:
Pro Hacker Rank on HackTheBox: Demonstrated expertise by solving advanced cybersecurity challenges.
Top 20 Participant in TCS HackQuest Season 5: Recognized for cybersecurity acumen and received an employment offer.
Representative at C2C CTF 2023, Japan: Selected as the sole representative from my university in an international competition.
I believe in the power of community and continuous learning. That's why I actively participate in CTF competitions worldwide and contribute to open-source projects on GitHub. These experiences not only sharpen my skills but also allow me to collaborate with and learn from other professionals in the field.
Beyond the digital world, I have a strong commitment to social responsibility. Volunteering with NGOs in India, I've helped establish internet facilities in remote villages and participated in food distribution programs. I firmly believe that technology should be accessible to all and strive to make a positive impact wherever possible.
