I build malware analysis frameworks and investigate digital evidence to strengthen threat detection and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I've conducted digital forensics and malware investigations at C3iHub (IIT-Kanpur), covering static and dynamic analysis across PE, ELF, OLE, and PDF files.
I built a Malware Analysis Framework that automates static analysis, custom YARA-based detection, confidence scoring, sample ingestion, API integration, and MongoDB-backed evidence storage. I also reviewed web application source code with SonarQube and Semgrep to report vulnerabilities, bugs, and code smells.
Through roles at Ernst & Young and the State Forensic Science Laboratory, I've performed vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, forensic investigations, and evidence analysis while learning to maintain chain of custody.
I'm a FACT'24-qualified digital forensics professional and M.Sc. gold medalist focused on malware analysis, threat detection, and incident response operations.
