Who I am

I'm a cybersecurity engineer with a deep interest in offensive security — finding vulnerabilities before attackers do. My foundation is built on hands-on internships, real CTF competitions, and a final-year project that shipped a working cloud security system combining AES, ECC, and blockchain key management.

Alongside security, I've developed a strong AI/ML track — building multi-agent systems with the Gemini API, completing Google Cloud's Gen AI Academy, and placing Top 3 in a prompt engineering assessment. I see AI and security as increasingly inseparable fields.

I'm actively hunting for roles in SOC analysis, VAPT, GRC, or AI security — ideally somewhere I can do both.

What I've built

Cloud Data Security — AES + ECC + Blockchain
Final Year

Hybrid encryption system combining AES (unique key per file) and ECC to secure cloud data at rest and in transit. Uses a decentralized blockchain to store and manage encryption keys — eliminating single points of failure common in centralized systems. Solves static key compromise and unauthorized access vulnerabilities.

Python Django MySQL AES ECC Blockchain
Multi-Agent AI System — Gemini API & ADK
AI

Built multi-agent systems during the Google for Startups Prompt to Prototype Bootcamp — a 5-session program covering prompt engineering, AI agent building with Gemini API and ADK, and content engineering. Developed and tested agents in Google AI Studio.
