Dikshant Sharma

I’m a passionate and driven B.Tech student in Computer Science & Engineering with a strong focus on Cybersecurity and IT Security. Through my internship and hands-on projects, I’ve developed skills in network defense, threat monitoring, and secure software development. I have practical experience with tools like SonicWall Firewall, SIEM systems, Splunk, Wireshark, and Metasploit, and I enjoy building secure, scalable solutions that solve real-world problems.

With a solid foundation in networking concepts and programming languages like Java, C++, and JavaScript, I bridge the gap between development and security. My projects like CertiCheck and Network Defence Lab reflect my ability to combine technical knowledge with cybersecurity practices. I’m constantly learning and evolving, aiming to contribute meaningfully to the cybersecurity domain and help organizations strengthen their digital defenses.

Completed my B.Tech student in Computer Science & Engineering and focus on cybersecurity. Experienced in network defense through internships, including hands-on work with SonicWall Firewall, SIEM monitoring, and cyberattack simulations in Windows/Linux environments. Skilled in cybersecurity tools such as Splunk, Wireshark, Nmap, and Metasploit, complemented by certifications from TryHackMe and Cybrary.

Developed real-world projects like CertiCheck (a secure certificate verification web app using React.js and Node.js) and Network Defence (a cybersecurity lab simulating attacks and responses). Strong foundation in combining development and security principles to build scalable, effective solutions. Eager to contribute technical expertise and problem-solving skills to an IT security role.
