About

A Cyber Security enthusiast who is highly organised & focused, believes in hard-work & is able to prioritize & accomplish given tasks successfully. Since my association with IT security, what I have learned is that if you want to grow in this field, you'll have to be something more than passionate. Hunger for knowledge is the key! This is a vast domain. So there is a lot to talk about, and a lot to learn. A couple of lines are not enough to describe my passion.
