The person behind the terminal - Pentester, Security Engineer, and occasional terrible dancer.
I always thought I'd become a doctor. Growing up, I was fascinated by solving problems and helping people. But toward the end of high school, I discovered a different kind of healing, fixing, protecting, and securing systems in the digital world. That curiosity turned into a lifelong passion for technology and cybersecurity.
I earned a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering from Parul University, India with First Class Honours. My career began as a Full-Stack Developer, where I learned how every line of code connects to a user experience, a business goal, or a vulnerability waiting to be exploited. That realization pushed me toward security.
Now based in New York, I'm pursuing a Master's in Cybersecurity at the Katz School of Science and Health, with a sharp focus on offensive security; pentesting, ethical hacking, and malware analysis research.
Beyond the technical work, I'm a Cyber Evangelist - someone who believes that talking about security, making it accessible, and building a culture of awareness is just as important as implementing it. Every project I take on reflects one goal: make technology safer, smarter, and more human-centered.
The best defenders know how to attack. Pentesting, red teaming, and ethical hacking are my primary toolkit.
Breaking down malicious code to understand how threats operate. Reverse engineering is where forensics meets art.
Sharing knowledge, building security culture. The "Cyber Evangelist" title isn't ironic, I take cyber education seriously.
Coming from a dev background, I believe security must be built in from day one, not bolted on at the end.
When I'm not analyzing threats or writing Python scripts, here's what you'll find me doing.
Collecting experiences, not souvenirs. New cultures, new perspectives, new security conferences.
Strategy, patience, thinking three moves ahead, sounds exactly like cybersecurity to me.
There's something magical about turning a few simple ingredients into happiness.
Afrobeats to old-school jams. Wannabe pianist. Terrible dancer, but that has never once stopped me.
Both hands, one skillset. Comes in handy, pun fully intended.
From security research papers to philosophy. There's always something in my reading queue.
Ninja warrior tactics applied to modern cybersecurity - a unique and genuinely powerful read.
A reminder that the journey to your personal legend is the point, not just the destination.
Essential reading for any offensive security practitioner who writes Python.
"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
"Security is a culture, not a control."
"With one eye fixed on the destination, there is only one eye left to guide you along the journey."
Whether it's a security engagement, a collaboration, or just a conversation about cybersecurity — I'm all ears.
