At HackersVilla CyberSecurity Pvt Ltd, I tested and reviewed web and API apps for fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce clients, finding authentication, IDOR, and injection bugs before launch. I also added automated security checks to Jenkins pipelines in client environments.

I'm developing XploitArena, a bug bounty and pentest platform with researcher, company, and admin portals. I built its triage console with CVSS 3.1 scoring, duplicate detection, and company-specific report access.

At upGrad, I taught full-stack development and secure coding, and wrote course content, assessments, and hands-on projects. I also designed and built the HackersVilla Platform and created ffuf-GUI, a React front end for the ffuf fuzzer.
