I’m training to defend systems — after three years spent building them.

About
Cyber security trainee with a builder’s background — I know how systems are put together, which is how I’m learning to take them apart.
I’m 300+ hours into an NSQF Level 4 cyber security program at Adani Skill Development Centre — networks and protocols, firewalls and access control, audit and compliance, SOC monitoring and escalation, and hands-on VAPT exposure in a controlled environment.
Before that I finished my BCA and a 120-hour React and Node.js internship, building full-stack applications end to end. That isn’t a detour from security — it’s the part most people entering the field don’t have. I’ve written the authentication, handled the user input, designed the schema. I know what a weak implementation looks like from the inside, because I’ve written one.
I’m aiming at SOC analyst and entry-level security roles — monitoring, alert triage and escalation to start with, and application security further out, where the development background pays off directly.

Course details
Cyber Security Program
Adani Skill Development Centre · Ahmedabad (GJ) · NSQF Level 4
A 300+ hour government-framework program that starts at how systems and networks are actually put together, then works through how they get broken into and how security teams detect it.
Most of it is hands-on: real vulnerabilities, the controls that stop them, and the workflows a security operations team runs day to day. Eight modules, from OS fundamentals through to VAPT exposure in a controlled lab environment.
Module breakdown
Network Foundations
Network types, protocols, communication models and the weak points in them.
Network Security
Firewalls, antivirus, access control and everyday threat mitigation.
Audit & Compliance
Standards, documentation and what compliance audits actually check for.
Security Operations Centre
Monitoring, incident alerts, escalation paths and reporting inside a SOC.
VAPT Exposure
How vulnerabilities are identified and tested in a controlled environment.
Professional Development
Communication, reporting and employability skills for a security team.
Career Support
Mock interviews and guidance for entry-level security roles.

Security Lab
Tools built alongside the training — authorized testing, detection and forensics, run against systems I own or am explicitly permitted to test.
[!] AUTHORIZED USE ONLY — every tool below refuses to run outside an explicit scope.

Security capabilities reflect the NSQF Level 4 syllabus currently in progress — foundations and supervised lab work, not production experience. Engineering skills come from three years of coursework and a professional internship.

Engineering Background
Full-stack applications I built before moving into security. They’re here because knowing how software is assembled is what makes an analyst useful — each of these has an attack surface I wrote myself: authentication, user input, database queries, session handling.
