What I'm looking for

I’m interested in management, business operations and strategy, business development, and organizational progress.

At ExoQuest, I manage business and daily operations for a cybersecurity training and CTF hosting platform. My work includes project management, recruiting, customer relations and supporting the platform’s commercialization.

At ExploitX, I manage operational activities for a student-driven cybersecurity community and support CTFs, hackathons, workshops and conferences. I also directed event planning and execution for Into the Void 1.0, Into the Void 2.0 and 0xCON Summit.

At REVIL - A National-Level Technical Symposium, I progressed from Sponsorship Team Member to Sponsorship Lead and managed the sponsorship process. Earlier, as a Cybersecurity Intern at Validus India Technology Services Private Limited., I created phishing awareness resources and formatted vulnerability assessment findings into VAPT reports.
