About Me
Hello! I’m R. Santhoshkumar, a passionate and self-motivated cybersecurity enthusiast driven by a deep interest in building secure, efficient systems. My core focus lies in Cybersecurity, with particular attention to areas such as Cloud Security, Digital Forensics, and Offensive Security.
I’ve worked independently on various security-focused projects and am continually expanding my knowledge in areas like Linux environments, networking, and threat analysis. I take pride in exploring vulnerabilities, automating defense techniques, and contributing to a safer digital space.
Outside the command line, I’m always experimenting with tools, writing scripts, and staying updated with the latest in infosec. I’m actively seeking opportunities to learn, collaborate, and contribute to impactful security initiatives.
If you're looking to collaborate or connect on all things tech and security, let’s talk!
