In my role, I actively engage in customer coordination and outreach, working closely with clients to understand their security needs and ensure smooth communication throughout project lifecycles. I support pre-sales technical analysis and development by conducting assessments, preparing solution proposals, and creating proof-of-concepts (POCs) to demonstrate technical feasibility. My responsibilities also include collaborating with clients on analysis and testing support to identify vulnerabilities and enhance system security. Leveraging my programming skills, I develop prototypes and automate tasks to optimize performance and efficiency. Additionally, I prepare detailed technical documentation, reports, and user guides while providing continuous technical support and training to ensure effective implementation and maintenance of cybersecurity solutions.
Network Security Intern
TATA Power Southern Odisha Distribution Limited
Sep 2023 - Dec 2023
During my time in the Security Operations Center (SOC), I have developed strong expertise in security monitoring and incident response through 15+ hands-on training sessions and close collaboration with senior analysts to address real-time security events. I was responsible for monitoring asset security systems, detecting over 100 potential incidents each month, and promptly alerting law enforcement and first responders to maintain public safety in the city of College Park. I also documented investigation findings, provided regular updates to response teams, and prepared over 1,000 comprehensive post-incident reports. My commitment to accuracy and operational excellence earned me the Monitor of the Month recognition in April 2024.
Security Operations Center Monitor
University of Maryland Police Department
Jun 2023 - Current
During a 12-week internship, I strengthened my network security expertise by exploring more than 10 network protocols and utilizing over six key security tools, including firewalls, SIEM, SOAR, VPNs, EDR, and IDS/IPS solutions. I gained hands-on experience with leading SIEM platforms such as ArcSight, QRadar, and Security Onion, while managing security configurations on Fortinet Firewall, Trend Micro Deep Security, and implementing protective measures via Proton VPN. Additionally, I delivered over 20 presentations on security policy management and standard procedures, fostering improved team communication and collaboration.
Cybersecurity Analyst Intern
TATA Power Delhi Distribution Limited
Jan 2021 - Apr 2021
I conducted dynamic application security testing (DAST) using advanced VAPT tools, including OWASP ZAP, Nessus, Sqlmap, Metasploit, and Burp Suite, producing detailed reports that achieved a 99% true positive accuracy rate. Additionally, I led knowledge-sharing workshops on the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, demonstrating real-world exploitation techniques and secure coding practices, directly enhancing overall security awareness across the team.

Projects
Website Migration to AWS
In this project, I successfully migrated a company website from a local virtual machine to the AWS Cloud, designing and implementing a scalable, secure, and high-performance architecture. The migration improved system uptime to 99.9% and reduced downtime by 40% through efficient resource allocation, automated monitoring, and optimized load balancing strategies. I utilized key AWS services, including S3 for storage, IAM for access management, RDS for database optimization, and integrated firewall and patch management tools to strengthen overall security. These implementations not only enhanced data protection and system resilience but also boosted website performance by over 50%, ensuring a more reliable and efficient cloud infrastructure.
Text Monitoring with NLP for Cybersecurity Intelligence
In this project, I developed an advanced keyword extraction algorithm leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to analyze over 100,000 lines of cybersecurity-related text. The system was designed to automatically identify threat indicators, attack patterns, and emerging vulnerabilities with high accuracy, supporting proactive threat hunting and incident response efforts. By integrating tokenization, vectorization, and classification methods, the model significantly improved the efficiency of processing large-scale security data. I presented the results of this research at a university conference attended by over 70 defense scientists, where I showcased how NLP-driven automation can enhance cyber threat intelligence and streamline text-based security analysis.
My projects reflect a strong integration of cloud security, automation, and data analytics to solve real-world cybersecurity challenges. From migrating enterprise systems to secure cloud environments to leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) for advanced threat intelligence, each project demonstrates my ability to apply technical expertise and analytical thinking to enhance security, optimize performance, and drive innovation.
