About Gargi Sahu

I’m an IT Security Analyst with a background in Computer Science and software engineering, focused on building and supporting secure, AI- and cloud-enabled systems.My work sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and software development. Alongside security responsibilities, I actively contribute to Python-based backend and full-stack applications, bringing a security-first approach to system design, development, and deployment.I have completed two internships as a Full Stack Developer, working with Python, React.js, MySQL, Git, and RESTful APIs to deliver scalable and maintainable applications. These experiences strengthened my understanding of real-world engineering workflows and product-driven development.I’ve also built hands-on exposure to AI and cloud technologies through Microsoft Learn certifications in AI, Azure, and cloud fundamentals, helping me understand how modern systems operate in production environments.I approach technology with a problem-solving and security-aware mindset, focusing on clean code, system reliability, and continuous learning. I enjoy working in environments where engineering decisions balance functionality, performance, and security.I’m open to Software Engineering, Security Engineering, or hybrid roles where I can contribute to building secure, scalable, and intelligent products while continuing to grow at the intersection of development, security, and cloud technologies. Open to professional connections, opportunities, and meaningful collaborations.

Experience

1. Cyber Security Consultant

   SecureRoot Risk Advisory LLP

   Feb 2026 — Present

   I currently work as a Cybersecurity Consultant, where I’m gaining hands-on exposure to both technical security and compliance-driven aspects of cybersecurity.My work involves learning and supporting areas such as Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT), along with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), helping me understand how security operates not just at a system level, but also within regulatory and business contexts.I’m building a strong foundation by working closely with experienced professionals, understanding real-world security challenges, and gradually developing a balanced perspective across security operations, risk, and compliance.I’m particularly interested in how practical security measures, compliance requirements, and engineering decisions come together to create secure and reliable systems.
