As an Advanced Diploma student in Cyber Security at Fanshawe College, I'm actively seeking a Co-op role that allows me to utilize my cybersecurity expertise. My academic experience includes a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity infrastructure and experience with Cisco equipment, Ubuntu Linux, and Active Directory. I am well-versed in essential cybersecurity tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, and Wireshark. Committed to upholding data integrity and confidentiality, I bring a problem-solving mindset and keen attention to detail. I aim to contribute positively to real-world cybersecurity challenges in a professional environment.

As an Electronic Sales Associate at OSL Retail (Walmart), I excelled in customer service, achieving a 95% satisfaction rating and driving a 20% sales increase through efficient customer engagement. Additionally, I supported smooth photo lab operations. In my role as a Penetration Testing Intern at Virtually Testing Foundation, I assessed OWASP's top 10 vulnerabilities, participated in Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, and created thorough penetration testing reports outlining vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.

Currently in my second year of an Advanced Diploma in Cybersecurity at Fanshawe College, London, Ontario, expected to conclude in December 2024, I am deepening my knowledge in key areas such as Web Security, Cybersecurity, Cryptography, Auditing & Security Controls, and Penetration Testing. Prior to this, I graduated with an Information Technology Diploma from Sigma Institute of Engineering and Technology, Gujarat, India in May 2019, achieving a notable GPA of 8.05/10. During this period, I developed robust web development skills, as exemplified by my final-year project that was built using ASP.net, JavaScript, and SQL.
