What I'm looking for

Open to remote roles, I seek entry-level roles in cybersecurity or systems engineering where I can apply secure-by-design principles, work on ML-driven security tools, and grow through hands-on mentorship and impactful projects.

I am a motivated computer science undergraduate specializing in cybersecurity, systems design and software development, with hands-on project experience building machine-learning XSS detectors and high-concurrency network proxies. I combine deep technical skills in Python and C with practical security tooling, achieving strong model metrics and robust attack-mitigation features in deployed prototypes.

I contribute to student-led social and technical initiatives, having taught underprivileged children and led logistics for a large campus fest, managing 30+ events for 5,000+ attendees. I seek roles where I can apply secure-by-design thinking, continuous learning, and measurable impact to protect systems and improve reliability.
