What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an internship or entry-level cybersecurity role to apply penetration testing, cloud security, and digital forensics skills, work on hands-on threat detection projects, and learn from experienced engineers in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a cybersecurity undergraduate focused on digital forensics, cloud security, and secure system development. I build ML-based threat detection systems and privacy-preserving cryptographic tools to address real-world security challenges.

I developed a malicious URL detector achieving over 98% accuracy using Random Forest, SVM, and XGBoost on 1M+ URLs and implemented a ranked searchable encryption system for secure cloud queries. I also engineered a real-time multi-user expense tracker and an embedded AES-protected lightweight PoW system for smart grid communication.

I completed a penetration testing internship where I used Burp Suite, Nmap, SQLmap, OWASP ZAP, and Metasploit to discover and document SQL Injection and XSS vulnerabilities, and I contributed to remediation plans. I placed 25th in Apoorv CTF 2025 and authored a book chapter on Light PoW accepted by De Gruyter.
