About

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Consultant with 6+ years of experience specializing in penetration testing (VAPT) across web, mobile, API, and network layers. Currently working as a Senior Security Consultant at Aujas Cybersecurity, I help teams identify vulnerabilities, strengthen their application and infrastructure security, and proactively reduce risk. My expertise lies in performing manual and automated VAPT, conducting pentesting and mapping findings to real-world threats based on the OWASP Top 10, CWE, and modern attacker techniques. I’ve worked across AWS environments, helping identify misconfigurations and privilege escalation paths in containerized and cloud-native architectures. I’ve led technical testing and provided remediation support across industries like BFSI, SaaS, and healthcare, working closely with developers and DevOps teams to deliver actionable, developer-friendly recommendations. Regular tools in my workflow include Burp Suite, ZAP, Postman, Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, and custom scripting for automated reconnaissance and exploitation. I’m also actively involved in DevSecOps initiatives, ensuring security is embedded into CI/CD pipelines without slowing development velocity. Whether it’s assessing business-critical apps or modern infrastructure stacks, I bring technical depth, a threat-based mindset, and a passion for helping teams build secure systems that scale.
