Hello Everyone,
I'm Sachin 👋
Motivated Computer Science student with strong Java and object-oriented programming skills, seeking a Java Developer or related internship role. Proficient in backend development, data structures, and building full-stack applications. Eager to contribute to real-world Java projects and grow as a software developer.
My background in software development provides a unique foundation for cybersecurity work. Understanding how systems are built allows me to identify vulnerabilities more effectively, analyze attack vectors from a developer's perspective, and implement security controls that align with real-world application architecture. I focus on securing systems, analyzing threats, and understanding real-world attacks through hands-on labs and practical security analysis.
