I am a dedicated cybersecurity engineer currently pursuing my B-Tech in Computer Science at IIITM, with a strong focus on building next-generation cybersecurity products using AI. My experience includes developing complex software and utilizing advanced cybersecurity tools to enhance security measures for various clients.

During my internships, I honed my skills in penetration testing, bug hunting, and API security, working with fintech clients to improve their internal security. I also contributed to an AI/ML research project aimed at enhancing security protocols. My passion for cybersecurity is evident through my active participation in bug bounty programs, where I have successfully helped numerous companies mitigate security flaws.
