What I'm looking for

I'm interested in remote or on-site faculty roles involving cybersecurity teaching, applied research, student supervision, curriculum development, and industry engagement.

At Intellevra, I lead the development and delivery of AI-enabled digital tools, cybersecurity services, and technology solutions. I also teach computing at Govt. Postgraduate College and mentor students in technical coursework and projects.

As an IEEE Certified Trainer for Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity, I conduct practical training in ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment, and network defense. At TechShield Next, I provide penetration testing, web security assessments, vulnerability analysis, and secure system deployment.

My Ph.D. research focuses on steganography and information security, including multimedia and image security. I’ve published research on secure IPv6 header compression, and manuscripts on steganography for handwritten signatures are under review.
