Harshit Dharani — Operations Associate
Hello! I’m Harshit and I am a second year M.Eng - Cybersecurity student at the University of Maryland (UMD). In the past, I worked as a Security Engineer at we45 Solutions for 2 years where I've had the privilege of leading multiple Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) projects. I completed my undergraduate studies at Bangalore University in 2021 with a major in Computer Applications. Currently, I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Cybersecurity at UMD, where I am deepening my expertise in offensive security and red-teaming while also gaining knowledge in other areas such as digital forensics and incident response. My ultimate goal is to keep the internet safe by uncovering vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. I'm committed to making the internet a safer place, one vulnerability at a time. Feel free to send me a connection request if you’d like to discuss about a project idea, collaborate or just want to share a funny meme!
