Hey All, Vaishu is an Indian student in the Master of Technology Management at UC Santa Barbara who is interested in pursuing a career in cybersecurity.
Vaishu has an F1 Visa with 3 years OPT authorization, meaning an employer must sponsor Vaishnavi's staying in the U.S. post-graduation. Vaishu asked me to share the resume with you in case you know of any potential job opportunities. I should note, however, that I only know Vaishu socially, so I can't speak to the student's professional or academic work.
