Aspiring cybersecurity and AI security researcher focused on adversarially robust systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m building toward a career in cybersecurity and AI security, with strong momentum from my B.Sc. Cybersecurity and B.Sc. Computer Science admissions offers. My focus spans cryptographic protocols, network security, and secure software architectures, backed by rigorous competitive mathematics and algorithmic problem solving.
I’ve pursued hands-on security work through independent research and practical training: I completed 50+ hours of advanced coursework on generative AI agent security, where I built Python client-host-server architectures using Model Context Protocol (MCP). I also studied exploit vectors in multi-agent frameworks—context leakage, prompt injection vectors, and the “confused deputy” problem—while evaluating human-in-the-loop patterns and observability telemetry for operational security.
On the defense and evaluation side, I’ve conducted adversarial machine learning research, including out-of-distribution failure analysis using Xception-based image classifiers and PyTorch-based stress testing to expose deep learning vulnerabilities. I’ve also designed privacy-first automation pipelines with n8n and LangGraph to avoid external third-party API dependencies, and I’ve validated foundational skills through TryHackMe and PortSwigger web security training.
