01 / IDENTITY
The operator behind the interface.
A personal cybersecurity portfolio built around real projects, learning and experience.
I’m Pranav Madage, an MCA student and aspiring cybersecurity professional. My direction is ethical hacking, penetration testing, web application security, network security, vulnerability assessment and practical security learning.
I like to understand how systems work, build or inspect them, test assumptions, identify weaknesses responsibly and improve them. My development background gives me a useful application-level view while I deepen my security skills.
