Hey there! I’m Kartheek Panyam, a cybersecurity engineer by day, tech enthusiast by night, and lifelong learner always on a quest to level up. With over four years of experience in securing systems, managing networks, and keeping the bad guys out, I’ve honed my skills in Identity and Access Management (IAM), Active Directory, and CyberArk (yes, I’ve battled the beasts of IT security and won!).

Right now, I’m pursuing a Master of Science in Information Technology at Arizona State University (Go, Sun Devils!), where I’m sharpening my tools and plotting my next move to conquer the world of cybersecurity—one secure server at a time. ASU has been a game-changer, fueling my desire to not just follow trends, but set them. And let’s be real, I’m on a mission to achieve something big—maybe even save the world… digitally, of course.

Along the way, I’ve snagged a couple of shiny trophies: the INSTA AWARD (Sept 2022) for nailing client deadlines like a pro and the SPOT AWARD (Dec 2022) for taking on challenges like they were mini-bosses in a video game. But awards aside, I’m always excited to dive into the next big adventure, whether it’s solving complex IT puzzles or securing critical systems with a cup of coffee in hand.

I’m all about pushing limits, breaking norms (responsibly), and making technology not just work, but wow. If you’re looking for someone who’s driven, creative, and ready to make an impact—let’s connect!

Oh, and if you want the details, feel free to download my resume here. It’s packed with my journey, skills, and maybe even a secret to unlocking your next IT challenge (just kidding… or am I?).
