About

Professional summary

I am a Computer Science professional with an MS in Computer Science and a focus on cybersecurity, application security, and post-quantum cryptography. I am seeking opportunities where I can contribute to security engineering, web application security, or junior penetration testing work.

I have hands-on experience in web security testing and vulnerability analysis, including OWASP Top 10 concepts, JWT authentication, authorization issues, privilege escalation, and server-side template injection. I have practiced these skills through controlled CTF environments and security analysis projects.

I work with security and network-analysis tools including Burp Suite, Wireshark, PEStudio, JADX, Linux, Docker, and Git. My technical foundation also includes TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, DHCP, ARP, packet analysis, malware analysis, and APK analysis.

My research interests combine AI and cybersecurity. I have worked on adversarial machine learning, federated learning, explainable AI, IoT/UAV security, and trust-based detection approaches for zero-day adversarial attacks.

I also bring software development experience using Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, SQL, WordPress, and cloud technologies. As a freelance full-stack developer, I maintained production websites and developed mobile application functionality including PayPal payment integration.

I am currently conducting research in post-quantum cryptography, with an emphasis on quantum-resistant security approaches and security challenges in emerging computing environments. I am motivated to apply my research, development, and practical security skills in a cybersecurity-focused role.
