I'm a BCA final year student at Sri Sai University, Palampur, building a career in cybersecurity with a focus on Security Operations Center (SOC) analysis. I've developed hands-on skills in Linux log analysis, network fundamentals, and threat detection through practical Python security tools and independent lab work.
My approach combines strong analytical thinking with practical skills — from writing Python scripts that detect brute-force attacks to understanding network protocols and firewall configurations. I'm a self-learner who built my cybersecurity foundation through online courses and practical labs.
What I Focus On:
- Log Analysis & Threat Detection
- Linux Command-Line & System Administration
- Network Security & Protocol Analysis
- Python Security Automation
