About Raj Sheth

Cybersecurity professional with a passion for building and breaking systems.

Who I Am

I am a Master’s student in Cybersecurity at Saarland University, Germany, where I am building a strong foundation in security fundamentals, from cryptography to secure AI. My technical approach is grounded in hands-on experience with penetration testing labs, vulnerability scanning, and Metasploit-based exploitation.

I believe in pairing technical depth with clear, structured documentation and effective communication. I am eager to apply my skills in a real-world setting and am open to relocation and global opportunities.
