I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity with a strong foundation in both programming and security.
My technical skill set bridges both security and development. I’m proficient in Python and Java, with solid knowledge of SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have hands-on experience in frontend design, building responsive interfaces, and delivering polished web experiences that balance aesthetics with functionality. I have hands-on skills in ethical hacking, VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing), and auditing, backed by deep knowledge of cybersecurity methodologies.
Currently working at Ecoquest Technologies, I’m involved in L1-level activities including debugging, troubleshooting, and providing support for a real-time, full-stack Book Store application. The project is built using Java Spring Boot and includes modules for book management, user orders, cart systems, admin panel functionalities, and secure login authentication. My work ensures smooth system performance and user experience while contributing to real-world development and security practices.
My goal is to grow into a dynamic role where I can innovate, build meaningful projects, and continue evolving as a tech professional.
Currently contributing to the development of an internal bookstore management web application for managing inventory, user accounts, and order workflows Working with Java (JSP & Servlets) to build and maintain backend functionality, and using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a responsive front-end Implementing key modules including user authentication, admin dashboard, book catalog, and checkout system Managing configuration and environment files using XML and .properties formats Following MVC architecture, using Eclipse IDE for development and Apache Tomcat for deployment Collaborating with the team to improve performance, fix bugs, and enhance feature sets based on internal requirements
My role focuses on designing and developing intuitive front-end interfaces, structuring responsive layouts, and ensuring smooth user interactions. I actively work on creating clean and user-friendly web pages using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and regularly check for UI issues and functional errors similar to Level 1-L1 debugging and support. I'm passionate about solving problems, learning new tools, and continuously improving the overall user experience.
Contributed to black-box penetration testing activities using Kali Linux on vulnerable virtual machines Conducted IP discovery and network scanning with Netdiscover and Nmap to map the target environment Analyzed and exploited a WordPress-based system through user enumeration, brute-force login, and reverse shell injection Gained system access and performed privilege escalation using tools like GTFOBins, Netcat, and CyberChef Practiced secure coding analysis, shell interaction, and Linux privilege checks to identify system-level vulnerabilities Documented findings and provided recommendations for strengthening access control and patch management

Conducted penetration testing on a ColdBox VM hosted on a bridged virtual network.
Used Netdiscover to identify the IP address and confirm server connectivity.
Scanned open ports and services using Nmap and detected a WordPress-based site on port 80.
Performed vulnerability scans and user enumeration with Wpscan.
Successfully brute-forced WordPress credentials using rockyou.txt wordlist.
Gained access and uploaded a PHP reverse shell via theme editor to establish a backdoor.
Used Netcat to catch the shell and escalate privileges to root using GTFOBins techniques.
Accessed sensitive files (wp-config.php, user.txt, and root.txt) and decoded base64-encoded flags.
Demonstrated risks of weak credentials, exposed services, and lack of update hygiene.
Tools & Technologies: Kali Linux, Nmap, Wpscan, Netdiscover, Burp Suite, Netcat, GTFOBins,
