A self taught with a lot of interest in Cyber Security

Hi, I’m Akash Motkar, 21-year-old-techie from Pune, India. I’m a passionate cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and ethical hacking. I’ve discovered and reported valid, critical bugs across multiple organizations, helping them patch vulnerabilities and improve their overall security posture. Breaking into systems (ethically) and understanding how they work from the inside out is what drives me every day.

Currently, I’m working with Cybrgen Limited, where I’m actively involved in red team operations, where I collaborate with cross-functional teams on red-team exercises, automate recon and security scans, and mentor junior interns on cybersecurity best practices. I’m constantly exploring new attack vectors, and staying up to date with the latest in offensive security. My mission is to learn, share, and contribute to a safer digital ecosystem.
