What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in cybersecurity where I can leverage my skills in cloud security and incident response, while contributing to a collaborative team environment that values innovation and professional growth.

I'm a dedicated B.Tech student in Computer Science and Engineering at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, set to graduate in 2025. My passion for technology drives me to explore the realms of cybersecurity and cloud computing, where I have gained hands-on experience through various internships and projects.

During my recent AWS Cloud Virtual Internship, I honed my skills in implementing secure cloud environments and managing identity and access protocols. My project work, including the development of a Python-based keylogger, showcases my ability to innovate while prioritizing data security and performance efficiency. I am committed to continuous learning and applying my knowledge to real-world challenges in cybersecurity.
