About

Detail-oriented and motivated Cybersecurity graduate with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and compliance support across PCI DSS and ISO 27001 environments. Through internships with HDFC Bank, thegrower.ai, and Astra Cybertech, I have developed practical exposure to GRC processes, DevSecOps pipelines, and real-time security operations. I bring strong technical skills in tools such as Kali Linux, Nmap, Metasploit, Nessus, and Wireshark, along with a solid foundation in NIST CSF and ISO 27001 frameworks. My academic work includes an ML-based IoT intrusion detection system achieving over 91% accuracy. I am eager to begin my professional career by contributing analytical thinking, security best practices, and a proactive learning mindset to a dynamic cybersecurity team.
