Profile Summary: Cybersecurity student, bug bounty hunter, CTF player, and security researcher interested in learning about the inner workings of things, finding out weaknesses, and improving on them. My primary areas of interest are web, mobile, API, application, and cloud security along with penetration testing, threat hunting, security operations, AI security, and digital forensics. I like to learn and explore through projects, CTFs, vulnerability research, and real-world security assessments with a focus on continuous learning and responsible disclosure.

As a detail-oriented cybersecurity enthusiast, I bring hands-on experience in threat analysis, vulnerability assessment, SOC fundamentals, ethical hacking labs, and digital forensics and incident response (DFIR). My expertise is grounded in Linux, networking, SIEM basics, and a suite of security tools, complemented by a solid foundation in full-stack development and AI-assisted analysis. I am deeply passionate about applying my security knowledge to real-world scenarios, including incident investigation, log analysis, and forensic workflows.

I am actively seeking opportunities to leverage my diverse skill set and contribute to impactful projects that push the boundaries of technology and security.
