Automation @Accuknox | Cybersecurity | Bug Hunting

About

As a QA Automation Intern at AccuKnox, I focus on automating SaaS applications, working with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Prowler scans, Jira automation, APIs and more to streamline and enhance security workflows. My role involves integrating automation into pipelines, ensuring efficient and scalable workflows. Beyond automation, I’m a cybersecurity enthusiast with hands-on experience in web application penetration testing and bug hunting. My background includes research in offensive security at Virtual Cyber Labs and leading tech initiatives as a Tech Lead at GDSC DYPCOE. With expertise in OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, and networking, I actively bridge the gap between security automation and manual testing to build robust cyber defense solutions.
