01 / ABOUT

OSCP-certified, entry-level cyber security professional with strong networking foundations (CCNA & CCNP-level training) and hands-on penetration-testing practice in a self-built Kali Linux home lab. Comfortable across Linux, Docker and network security. Backed by a Master's in IT and the ACS Professional Year, plus four years in front-line security operations (control-room monitoring, incident response, access control) that bring real operational discipline. Seeking an entry-level / graduate cyber role — SOC analyst, network security, or penetration testing. (I also build apps for fun using AI-assisted coding — see projects.)

Projects

Home Penetration-Testing & Security Lab

2025 – Present
Kali LinuxNetworkingDockerVPN
  • Run an isolated Kali Linux lab for hands-on penetration-testing practice (OSCP-style): enumeration, exploitation and privilege escalation, including finding and using known CVEs, over OpenVPN against TryHackMe lab networks.
  • Built a self-hosted home network of 15+ Docker services with segmented networking — one group routed through a WireGuard VPN gateway (with a kill-switch), exposed via Cloudflare zero-trust tunnels (no open inbound ports). Applied networking fundamentals (subnetting, VLAN-style segmentation, firewall rules, DNS).

Personal / Fun Projects

hobby · AI-assisted
  • Rent Ledger — a full-stack web app + companion Android app I built for fun using AI-assisted coding (Next.js/TypeScript + Kotlin), with user login and encrypted credential storage. live at rent.khanlab.in.
  • University team web-app project for the Australian Computer Society (ACS Professional Year, 2021) — developer on a 5-person team across the full development lifecycle.
