What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my hands-on experience in malware analysis, digital forensics, reverse engineering, and security research while continuing to grow through challenging technical work.

I lead forensics for Team Cryptonite, India’s #3 CTF team in 2025, competing in forensics and reverse-engineering challenges and mentoring aspiring cybersecurity practitioners.

I built PEscan, a Volatility 3 plugin that detects potentially malicious PE files in Windows memory dumps through indicators including packed executables, obfuscated imports, suspicious permissions, and known signatures. I also authored niteCTF reverse-engineering and DFIR ransomware challenges covering EDR evasion, memory analysis, registry forensics, and UAC bypass techniques.

As a research intern at IIT Guwahati, I implemented and evaluated deep reinforcement learning algorithms for secure multi-UAV wireless communication under jammer influence. I’ve earned multiple first-place CTF finishes and enjoy malware analysis, digital forensics, and security research.
