About Me

I am a Security Engineer currently pursuing my B.Tech in CS with a Cybersecurity Specialization at Amrita University (Class of 2027).


I actively compete in CTFs with Team Hunter, ranking in the Top 8-10 in India on CTFtime. I thrive at the intersection of development and security, building tools to automate security workflows and finding vulnerabilities before bad actors do.


Open for opportunities in Application Security Engineering, DevSecOps, and Security Automation.
