About me

Cybersecurity graduate (B.E. Computer Science Engineering — Cyber Security, First Class with Distinction) with CompTIA Security+ and eJPT certifications. I have hands-on experience in penetration testing, SIEM monitoring, and digital forensics — including building ForensAI, an AI-powered forensics platform that integrates LLM analysis with rule-based risk scoring — and a Top-3 finish at the Resillion CTF competition.

I'm currently seeking a SOC Analyst / Cybersecurity Analyst role where I can apply security operations, threat detection, and incident response skills in a real environment, with a strong commitment to continuous learning.

Education and Skills

Across my degree and self-study, I have focused on the following areas:

  • Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment
  • SIEM & Security Monitoring (Splunk, log analysis, alert triage)
  • Digital Forensics and Evidence Integrity
  • Network & Traffic Analysis (Wireshark, Nmap, TCP/IP)
  • Incident Response (NIST SP 800-61)
  • Security Automation with Python

I also work hands-on with tools and technologies essential to the field, such as Linux administration, Bash and Python scripting, Windows Event Log analysis, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Awards and Achievements

  • Top 3 — Resillion CTF Competition (2025)

    Placed in the top three at the Resillion Capture The Flag competition.

  • 1st Place — Open Hackathon, GITAM University (2026)

Projects

  1. ForensAI — AI-Powered Digital Forensics Platform

    June 2025 · Python, PySide6, Groq API, SleuthKit
    • Built a cross-platform disk-image forensics platform (E01/EWF, raw) with on-the-fly hashing (MD5 / SHA1 / SHA256), NTFS/FAT32 analysis, Windows registry examination, and file carving across 13 formats.
    • Integrated an LLM analysis layer (Groq API, Llama 3.3 70B) that explains file artifacts, registry keys, and timestamp anomalies, and narrates deleted-file overwrites from cluster-level recovery.
    • Designed a hybrid risk engine combining 28 deterministic forensic rules (0–100 severity) with AI contextual re-evaluation, plus an immutable JSONL audit trail using SHA-256 hash chaining.

  2. Network Scanner

    Apr 2024 · Python, Networking
    • Developed a network scanning tool for host discovery and service enumeration.
    • Implemented ICMP and TCP-based scanning techniques with customizable scan options.
    • Performed automated device identification and basic network analysis for security assessment workflows.
