Cybersecurity student building AEGIS, an AI prompt-security gateway, and researching automotive digital evidence.

India
Message

At Digit Defence, I performed vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on client-style environments using Burp Suite and OpenVAS, then documented findings for team reporting.

I designed and built AEGIS, an AI prompt-injection and data-leak-prevention gateway for AI applications. I deployed its MVP on Google Cloud Run, and its security audit identified gaps now being remediated.

My first-author paper, “NAEBA: An Encrypted Black-Box Architecture for Tamper-Proof Automotive Evidence,” presents an encrypted evidence framework with integrity checks and threshold key management. I mapped the design to relevant Indian and international requirements.

I'm pursuing an MSc in Cybersecurity at MIT ACSC College. My projects also include an offline SOC training platform and a network security dashboard, alongside hands-on OWASP Top 10 testing.
