About

CEH v13 AI-certified cybersecurity professional with strong infrastructure security, automation, and network security foundations positioning me for cloud security analyst roles. Enterprise experience at TCS spans Linux and Windows Server administration, Docker containerisation, Oracle/MySQL database security, Python/Perl/Bash scripting, and SLA-driven production operations — directly transferable to cloud security responsibilities including infrastructure hardening, IAM enforcement, security monitoring, and DevSecOps automation. Hands-on penetration testing and OWASP Top 10 expertise (Panacea InfoSec) applicable to cloud-hosted application and API security assessment. TLS/SSL, PKI, and post-quantum cryptography (NIST PQC, QKD) knowledge supports cloud certificate management, data encryption, and emerging cryptographic compliance requirements. Familiar with cloud security principles including IAM, shared responsibility models, CSPM concepts, and cloud monitoring frameworks through structured self-study.
