About Me

Hi, I’m Dharmik Ashwin Kantesaria, a passionate cybersecurity professional based in the United States. With a recent MS in Cybersecurity and a strong background in Computer Science, I thrive on tackling new challenges and experimenting with cutting-edge solutions. My expertise spans Network Security, Security Testing & Assessment, and Security Automation. When I’m not immersed in the world of cybersecurity, you might find me on the volleyball or badminton court, pursuing my love for sports.

My Journey

My cybersecurity journey began during my undergraduate studies in Computer Science. A pivotal moment came in my 4th semester when I attended an Ethical Hacking workshop at BITS, Hyderabad. This eye-opening experience introduced me to the fundamental concepts of computer networking and security, providing a glimpse into the world of real-world hacking and vulnerability exploitation.

This workshop ignited a deep interest in cybersecurity, which was further fueled by my subsequent semester’s study of computer networks. I was fascinated by how a military experiment from the 1980s had evolved into an integral part of our daily lives. From that moment on, I was determined to explore and contribute to the field of cybersecurity, driven by the ever-growing need to secure data in our increasingly digital world.

Since then, I’ve been on a continuous path of learning and skill development. Through academic coursework, personal projects, and professional experiences, I’ve honed my abilities and deepened my understanding of this dynamic field.

Continuous Learning

I’m a firm believer in the importance of continuous learning in the fast-paced world of cybersecurity. To stay sharp and current, I regularly participate in online Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges and strive to stay updated on the latest threats and technologies. I’m excited to share my learning experiences through blogs and write-ups, which will be available on this website soon.

Let’s Connect

I’m always eager to discuss trends in the cybersecurity industry, collaborate on projects, or explore new opportunities. Whether you’re a fellow professional, a potential collaborator, or just someone interested in cybersecurity, I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or check out my projects on GitHub.

Together, let’s work towards building a more secure digital world!
