Science stream with Computer Science electives. Participated in coding contests and tech clubs.
In the field of Cybersecurity, I have conducted vulnerability assessments, implemented system hardening, and applied secure configurations to strengthen IT infrastructures. My toolkit includes Wireshark for traffic analysis, Snort for intrusion detection, and OpenSSL for secure communication. I have deployed firewalls, IDS/IPS, and integrated DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous protection of applications and servers. With strong problem-solving skills, I focus on building environments that are not only automated and efficient but also robust, secure, and production-ready.
I have hands-on experience in Linux system administration, DevOps, and Cybersecurity, working across production and development environments. My expertise includes managing Linux servers (Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat), implementing automation with Ansible, and building CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions. I have containerized and deployed applications using Docker and Kubernetes, configured Nginx/Apache as reverse proxies with SSL/TLS, and optimized server performance to achieve scalability, high availability, and reliability. Alongside deployment, I have collaborated with developers to streamline release processes and minimize downtime through automation and monitoring.
Docker containerization with expertise in building, deploying, and managing scalable applications.
Mastered ethical hacking methodologies, tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities and secure systems.
