You Hacked Yourself (And You Didn't Even Know It)
A technical breakdown of the most overlooked attack surfaces in everyday life, from browser extensions to misconfigured cloud accounts and shadow IT risks.
I believe security is a form of creative expression: building systems that are powerful, safe, resilient, and meaningful. From red teaming networks to hardening cloud and AI systems, I craft solutions that make technology more trustworthy.
Brands I've worked with
I'm a cybersecurity engineer with a deep passion for offensive security, cloud infrastructure protection, and AI/LLM security. Currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Cybersecurity Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park (GPA 4.0), with hands-on experience at Uniqus Consultech, IIFL Finance, and 5paisa Capital.
My work sits at the intersection of red teaming, cloud security, and AI security: from compromising Active Directory domains to hardening multi-agent LLM platforms and publishing research in IEEE. I believe every system has a story to tell, and I'm here to read between the lines before the adversary does.
When I'm not breaking into things (ethically), I'm mentoring students, competing in CTFs, writing on Medium, or attending DEF CON and Black Hat to stay ahead of the curve.
Hands-on security roles, rigorous academic training, and cutting-edge research.
Industry-recognized credentials validating hands-on expertise in offensive security, cloud, and governance.
