About Siddhesh Gadekar

I’m an aspiring cybersecurity professional with a background in engineering and a strong passion for protecting digital systems. Having recently completed the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and hands-on projects in both governance (GRC) and technical areas, I’m actively seeking an entry-level role in cybersecurity. My skills span across NIST CSF, risk assessment, incident response, and tools like Wireshark, Splunk, and Chronicle. I’ve conducted practical assessments, simulated phishing attack responses, and network traffic investigations, applying real-world concepts in lab environments. My previous role as a Design & Development Engineer helped me build core skills in communication, problem-solving, and working with technical systems—skills I now bring into cybersecurity.
