What I Do

Security, from offense to defense

🎯

Penetration Testing

Simulating real-world attacks across applications, networks and cloud to uncover exploitable weaknesses before adversaries do.

📦

Blackbox Testing

Assessing systems with zero internal knowledge — mapping attack surface, fuzzing inputs and validating controls from an outsider's view.

☁️

Cloud & Product Security

Hardening AWS/Azure workloads, IAM, endpoint protection and SIEM to strengthen security posture and operational efficiency.

About Me

Securing systems with an attacker's mindset

I excel in cloud security and incident response management, showcasing strong analytical skills and a commitment to enhancing system integrity. My expertise spans regulatory compliance and effective communication — significantly improving security postures and operational efficiency.

My core work covers vulnerability assessment, identity & access management, endpoint protection strategies, two-factor authentication, security policy development, application testing, and security information & event management (SIEM). I combine offensive techniques like penetration testing and blackbox testing with defensive engineering to deliver resilient products.

Currently serving as Senior Product Security Engineer at CSG India Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru.
