What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply GRC standards (NIST CSF 2.0/ISO 27001/DORA) and security analytics (SIEM, threat hunting) while building data-driven tooling that improves remediation and executive reporting.

I’m a B.Tech in Computer Science graduate who builds risk programs with a technical edge. At PwC India, I work as an Associate - Risk Consultancy, executing GRC assessments and documenting control deficiencies for NIST CSF 2.0 compliance.

I analyze IT risk matrices to shape strategic remediation across enterprise systems, and support compliance monitoring through policy mapping and alignment activities. I also leverage SIEM tooling using ELK for real-time monitoring and Cisco IronPort for email security.

I actively perform threat hunting with CrowdStrike and deliver executive risk dashboards for the C-suite. Alongside GRC, I bring software and ML experience—from an end-to-end predictive diagnostics platform using MQTT, InfluxDB, MindsDB, and DSPy (including safety-constrained anomaly detection on OBD-II telemetry) to ML solutions like an intelligent TensorFlow-based chatbot.
