About

As an Information Security Consultant with hands-on experience across Application, Network and AI security, I am passionate about safeguarding organizations from ever-evolving cyber threats. My journey spans vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT), red teaming, and security consulting for sectors including healthcare and banking. Certified as an Ethical Hacker (CEHv12), I have successfully led security engagements that identified and remediated critical vulnerabilities before deployment, ensuring zero re-bugs and positive client outcomes. I excel in translating complex technical findings into actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, helping organizations foster a proactive security culture. My toolkit includes Burp Suite, Nessus, Metasploit, Wireshark, and advanced cloud security solutions. With a track record of training teams and reducing phishing risks, I am committed to continuous learning and driving results in the cybersecurity space. I am eager to connect with professionals and organizations who share my mission to make the digital world safer for everyone.
