I’m a Computer Science engineering student currently working as a Project Intern at DLRL, contributing to a classified defence R&D project with a focus on cybersecurity and secure systems. I enjoy identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security risks in controlled environments while supporting software testing workflows.

In my projects, I turn ideas into working solutions. I built a portfolio website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, deployed via GitHub Pages, to clearly showcase my skills, experience, and results.

On the ML side, I developed ProfitPredictor, an advanced sales forecasting model using a Random Forest Regressor, achieving 85% accuracy with Python and scikit-learn. On the security side, I created a secure file transfer system using AES-256 and RSA with GUI and web interfaces, including file integrity checks.

I also strengthen my security fundamentals through ethical hacking and vulnerability analysis. I identified and reported 15+ vulnerabilities (including XSS and SQLi) using Testfire.net and Juice Shop, delivering detailed reports and PoC videos—because real security work demands clarity, evidence, and repeatable testing.
