B.Tech graduate in Computer Science Engineering with a strong focus on cybersecurity and blue-team operations. As a fresher, I’m actively seeking opportunities to start my career as a Cybersecurity Analyst / SOC Analyst, where I can apply hands-on skills to detect, investigate, and respond to real-world threats.
I’ve built a solid foundation through practical, lab-driven learning, completing 100+ hands-on rooms on TryHackMe and ranking in the top 2% globally. I document my learning through technical write-ups and walkthroughs on Github and Medium, with the goal of helping fellow beginners navigate their cybersecurity journey more effectively.
A fast learner with a “learn-by-doing” mindset, I’m eager to contribute from day one, grow within a SOC environment, and continuously sharpen my defensive security skills.
