I do not have formal conference speaking experience yet, but I have led cybersecurity workshops as CyberSec Co-Lead at GDGC-ACE, where I taught students about VAPT, Python, and security concepts. I am comfortable explaining technical topics clearly and look forward to sharing my knowledge with a wider audience.
