Background

About Manikanta Puttoj

I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree with a strong focus on cybersecurity while building on over 2.5 years of hands-on experience in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). My journey began with a security internship evolved through a remote part-time analyst role during my undergraduate studies and led into a full-time position where I’ve worked on real-world applications and systems. I’ve gained practical skills using tools like Burp Suite Nessus Nmap OpenVAS and OWASP ZAP and developed a solid understanding of the OWASP Top 10 secure coding practices and vulnerability remediation workflows. My experience includes collaborating with developers verifying fixes and producing actionable security reports. I’m continuously enhancing my skills through hands-on labs challenges and platforms like TryHackMe and Hack The Box with a strong interest in web application security and red teaming. 🔎 Always eager to learn collaborate and contribute to secure digital ecosystems.
