Cybersecurity Enthusiast | IBM & Macquarie Certified | Security Management & Leadership | ISE Graduate 2024

About

I'm Shashank, a 2024 ISE graduate from Mysore who's spent the last couple of years getting deep into cybersecurity not just studying it, but actually building things and figuring out how it all works in practice. I built a full-stack travel web app where I handled the entire backend in PHP and MySQL and deliberately implemented prepared statements and input sanitisation because I understood the SQL injection risk, not just because a tutorial told me to. I also built PassGuard Elite, a password security tool that runs real entropy analysis and shows how bcrypt, argon2id and PBKDF2 actually protect credentials. And I designed a complete ISO 27001 ISMS for a simulated company ran the risk assessment, wrote the access control and password policies, and did a full compliance audit with a remediation report. On the certification side I've done six IBM's full cybersecurity analyst track plus Macquarie University's Security Manager and Leadership programmes. I'm currently working through the Google Cybersecurity Certificate to get hands-on with Splunk, Chronicle and SOC operations. I know penetration testing, network security, incident response, digital forensics, GRC and secure development. But what I think sets me apart is that I understand *why* these things matter not just how to do them. Looking for a cybersecurity analyst, SOC or GRC role where I can hit the ground running. shashankp2504@gmail.com
