What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in cybersecurity that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with a strong background in malware research and threat detection. My recent experience at LTIMindtree involved working on Microsoft Defender, where I focused on writing string-based signatures and telemetry analysis. I thrive on challenges and am committed to continuous learning and innovation in the field of information security.

Prior to my role at LTIMindtree, I honed my skills at Sophos Technologies, where I analyzed malicious email attachments and performed network forensics using tools like Wireshark and Microsoft Process Monitor. My academic background includes an M.Tech in Electronics and Communication, where I completed a thesis on Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition for Human-Computer Interaction, showcasing my ability to merge technology with practical applications.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a passion for music and enjoy exploring various forms of art. I believe that creativity and technical expertise go hand in hand, and I am eager to bring this unique perspective to my next role in cybersecurity.
