Penetration Tester at TCS Hyderabad \| Application Security \| Offensive Security

## About

I’m Raghav, a penetration testing and application security enthusiast from Raipur \(Chhattisgarh, India\), currently based in Hyderabad \(Telangana, India\)\. I work as an Assistant System Engineer – Trainee at TCS, where I focus on security testing and continuous learning\. My curiosity started with a simple question: “What happens when a hacker knocks on the door?” That led me into offensive security, where I enjoy understanding systems deeply and finding weaknesses before attackers do\. When I’m not hunting vulnerabilities, I love spending time in nature because it reminds me that everything has a pattern, and understanding patterns is the key to both life and cybersecurity\. I solve real\-world security challenges through hands\-on labs, CTFs, and continuous learning\. I believe in staying grounded through nature, discipline, and self\-awareness because the best security starts with understanding yourself\. Interests: Penetration Testing · Offensive Security · Application Security · Linux · Security Research Goal: Build stronger defenses through ethical hacking and security research\.
