India

Message

At C9Lab (Pinak Infosec Pvt. Ltd.), I lead a 20+ member cybersecurity analyst team and design security architecture across a portfolio of six products. I built a dark web intelligence capability from scratch, combining automated collection with third-party feeds to produce actionable intelligence.

I own the technical backbone of Qsafe DRPS, from dark web data collection to customer-facing threat intelligence. I also built a threat intelligence platform integrating MISP, OpenCTI, and IntelOwl, with indicators mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.

Earlier, at HDFC Life, I implemented Cortex XDR and integrated continuous DAST and SAST scans into Jenkins CI/CD. At ConnectWise and Rackbank Data Center Pvt. Ltd., I investigated security incidents, monitored SIEM alerts, and conducted penetration testing and VAPT audits.
