With a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and a CGPA of 8.9, I have developed a solid foundation in cybersecurity, with particular emphasis on incident response, endpoint security, and digital forensics. My academic background, combined with my deep interest in cybersecurity, led me to win the prestigious Smart India Hackathon, where I successfully led a team to deliver a technical solution that addressed real-world challenges.In my current role as a Cybersecurity Engineer at Saama Technologies, I specialize in managing complex security incidents across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, utilizing tools like CrowdStrike and Rapid7. I have successfully reduced data leakage by 30% through the implementation of advanced DLP protocols and have optimized SIEM correlation and detection rules to enhance threat visibility and reduce false positives. My experience extends to forensic analysis, where I leverage tools such as Magnet Axiom and Cellebrite to acquire court-admissible evidence in investigations.Looking forward, I aim to further specialize in emerging cybersecurity technologies, including cloud security, zero trust architectures, and XDR. My objective is to continue driving innovation in cybersecurity, advancing security frameworks, and contributing to the development of robust defenses in high-stakes environments
