Building Digital Shields | MCA Student@Jain University | TryHackMe Practitioner | Bridging Development & Security | Exploring Penetration Testing & Risk Assessment

About

As an MCA student at Jain University, I’m passionate about building secure and resilient cloud environments. My cybersecurity journey started with hands-on offensive security, where I developed a strong foundation in Linux, networking, vulnerability assessment, and ethical hacking. Being ranked in the Top 2% globally on TryHackMe strengthened my ability to understand how vulnerabilities are discovered, exploited, and ultimately mitigated. Today, I’m expanding that foundation into Cloud Security and DevSecOps, with a focus on securing infrastructure and applications throughout the development lifecycle. 🔐 Current Focus: ☁️ AWS Cloud Security 🛡️ Cloud Infrastructure Security ⚙️ DevSecOps & Security Automation 🏗️ Infrastructure as Code with Terraform 🔍 Vulnerability & Container Security 🚨 Threat Detection & Monitoring 🐳 Docker & Kubernetes Security Through hands-on projects, I’ve been working with technologies such as AWS, Terraform, KMS, S3, GuardDuty, EventBridge, CloudWatch, Docker, Kubernetes, Checkov, TruffleHog, and Trivy. I’m particularly interested in understanding security beyond individual tools—how security controls can be integrated into infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and cloud environments to build systems that are secure by design. I’m currently focused on growing into a Cloud Security / DevSecOps role, combining my cybersecurity foundation with practical cloud engineering and security automation.
