What I'm looking for

I'm looking for OT/ICS cybersecurity or consulting work where I can apply SCADA security, architecture hardening, assessments, crisis planning, tabletop exercises, and stakeholder training. I'm open to relocating to Australia and travelling for client engagements.

I've secured SCADA and pipeline control systems for GAIL (India) Limited, managing systems end-to-end across servers, HMIs, RTUs, clients, OPC servers, and gas measurement data availability.

At GAIL, I led Pan-India SCADA upgrades, hardened endpoints, switches, and routers, and implemented an OT cybersecurity stack including SIEM, threat detection, and firewalls. I also drove ISO 27001 ISMS implementation for the SCADA system and authored cyber crisis management and business continuity plans.

I now design telecom security training and operate a network security lab for Department of Telecommunications officer trainees and government stakeholders. My work includes firewall and SIEM deployment, Wireshark-based PCAP analysis, and cybersecurity course development for Skill India Digital Hub and iGOT Karmayogi Bharat.
