Hi, I'm Khushi
BSc (Hons) Computer Networking and Information Security student interested in both defensive security and hands-on offensive work. I enjoy threat detection, cloud security, and SOC-style analysis, while also exploring penetration testing, vulnerability research, and practical security tooling in the lab.
Security-minded, still early — and moving fast.
A short profile of where I'm coming from, what I'm chasing, and the corner of security I keep coming back to.
Who I am
A BSc (Hons) Computer Networking and Information Security student who likes understanding systems from both sides — how they are defended, and how they can be tested.
Career goals
Looking for a cybersecurity internship or entry-level role where I can grow in SOC operations and incident response while continuing hands-on work in offensive security and vulnerability analysis.
What I'm into
Cloud security, threat detection, SOC operations, and incident response — alongside penetration testing, web/app security, and practical labs through TryHackMe, PortSwigger, and real-world-style assessments.
Tools and technologies I work with
Self-rated proficiency across networking, offensive tooling, cloud, and the fundamentals underneath all of it.
