What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role where I can do system security research, vulnerability analysis, and hands-on exploitation—especially reverse engineering and firmware/embedded focus—within a team that values rigorous experimentation and real-world impact.

I’m a cybersecurity researcher with a strong foundation in computer networks and security, driven to explore advanced system security topics like vulnerability analysis, cryptography, ethical hacking, and risk management. I focus on contributing to cutting-edge research and innovative solutions that address real security challenges.

In my current role as a Senior Research Fellow at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), I analyze large-scale Nmap datasets to evaluate network exposure and attack surfaces. I’m also developing hands-on experience in reverse engineering and binary exploitation, with a focus on firmware analysis and identifying vulnerabilities in embedded systems.

Previously, I completed a Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Internship at VJTI, gaining practical experience identifying and exploiting common vulnerabilities in controlled lab environments. As a Graduate Student Instructor at the University of Michigan–Dearborn, I supported research-driven assignments in areas such as password cracking, web security, and browser security, including leading lab sessions on SSL implementation vulnerabilities.
