Mechanical Engineering student at MCE Hassan with a deep passion for cybersecurity. Currently pursuing CEH certification and actively building skills in ethical hacking and penetration testing. I bring curiosity, consistency, and a hacker's mindset to everything I do.
I'm a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan — with my true calling in cybersecurity. I made a deliberate pivot into ethical hacking and haven't looked back since.
I work hands-on in virtual lab environments using Kali Linux, Metasploitable 2, and industry-standard tools to simulate real-world attacks and understand both attacker and defender mindsets.
Currently pursuing the CEH (v13 AI) certification, building a professional portfolio, and looking for my first full-time cybersecurity role.
Pursuing the CEH certification through Win in Life, developing practical skills in ethical hacking, network security, and vulnerability assessment. Focused on penetration testing, system security, and threat analysis.
Hands-on experience in real-world cybersecurity tasks — reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, and basic penetration testing. Applied OSINT, network security, and ethical hacking concepts actively.
Performed Open Source Intelligence and passive reconnaissance on a target domain using publicly available information — legal, non-intrusive, and fully documented.
