About

I'm Shivam Parmar, a student with a strong foundation in software development, IT, networking, and security fundamentals. I like building home labs, inspecting real traffic, and writing Python tools that make security checks repeatable. I'm currently working toward CompTIA Security+ and looking for opportunities where I can support secure infrastructure, incident triage, and network troubleshooting.

  • Networking fundamentals (IP, TCP/UDP, DNS, HTTP, troubleshooting)
  • System hardening (Windows/Linux users, permissions, updates, baseline configs)
  • Traffic inspection & basic threat detection (Wireshark analysis)
  • Secure coding & vulnerability detection (static analysis, secure reviews)
  • Automation for repeatable checks (Python scripting)

Projects

  • Home Lab — Networking + Security Fundamentals

    Built a VM-based lab (Windows + Linux) to practice networking, troubleshooting, and basic security hardening (users, permissions, updates).

    Created a safe environment to reproduce issues, validate configurations, and learn traffic patterns.

  • Python Static Vulnerability Scanner

    Wrote a Python tool that performs static analysis across a codebase to flag insecure patterns and misconfigurations (e.g., hardcoded credentials, eval/exec, risky deserialization, shell-injection indicators).

    Produces a structured report (severity + file/line + explanation + fix suggestions) to support faster secure code reviews.

  • RevRank — Mobile App (Secure-by-Design Build)

    Built a React Native car-spotting social app with authentication, cloud media storage, and database models for profiles/posts/collections.

    Strengthened practical backend skills while applying secure patterns (auth flows, data modeling, least-privilege mindset).

  • Production QC Automation (Electronics)

    Improved programming and testing workflows for printed circuit boards, including a more efficient C++ script for microchip programming and refinements to QC processes.

    Reduced production time and defects by improving repeatability and quality checks.

Experience

Software Developer

Blynd · Sept 2025 — Present
  • Subscription-based platform to help creators/brands monitor for unauthorized re-uploads and manage takedown workflows.
  • Built a web app that supports recurring monitoring, organizes findings in a clean dashboard, and streamlines the detect → review → action → verify workflow.
  • Designed the system around reliability and scale: repeatable checks, clear status tracking, and audit-friendly outcomes.
  • Implemented subscription/payments logic and role-based access patterns to keep user data separated and secure.
  • Automated background processes (scheduled checks + verification loops) to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.

Electronics Specialist (Co-op and Full-Time)

Laytec Design & Consulting Inc. · Oakville, Ontario · Jan 2022 — Aug 2023
  • Took on increased responsibility and improved Quality Control processes through consistent execution and problem-solving.
  • Helped implement a bar code tracking system for printed circuit boards, supporting measurable time/cost savings.
  • Built a more efficient C++ script used in programming workflows, contributing to reduced production time.
  • Collaborated to refine programming/testing systems and reduce defects through clearer checks and repeatable processes.

Summer Camp Instructor and Coach

Oakville Soccer Club · Oakville, Ontario · Jul 2023 — Aug 2023
  • Planned and delivered engaging sessions; coached and mentored campers to improve participation and teamwork.
  • Coordinated with staff and communicated with parents as needed to support camper success.
