I’m an M.E. Cybersecurity student with 2+ years of hands-on experience spanning network security, penetration testing, and digital forensics. I bring a threat-focused mindset that turns raw signals, logs, and findings into actionable defenses.

As a Security Analyst Intern at DRDO, I identified and documented 10+ vulnerabilities in UAV RF communication channels, including spoofing, replay, and signal manipulation attack vectors. I also helped reduce threat-response time by 20% by improving detection and mitigation workflows for counter-drone defense systems.

Across internships, I strengthened real-world security testing and secure computation. At NullClass, I assessed OWASP Top 10 issues (including XSS and SQL injection) using Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP, while at BISAG-N I implemented Full Homomorphic Encryption in Python and built an encryption pipeline that reduced processing overhead by 15%.

I also build practical security capability through labs and tooling—deploying Wazuh/ELK SIEM, authoring custom detections, and using Snort for targeted intrusion detection. I’m currently researching UAV communication vulnerabilities and counter-drone defense mechanisms, and I’m eager to keep translating findings into stronger, measurable security outcomes.
