About Me

I'm a B.Tech CSE student at PES University, specialising in Cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in Ethical Hacking, Web Application Security (VAPT), Network Security, and SOC & Threat Intelligence. I've consistently ranked against top peers nationally through CTF competitions, demonstrating my skills in real-world adversarial environments.

What sets me apart is a rare combination of offensive and defensive security expertise — I think like an attacker to defend like a professional. My internship experience has given me direct exposure to real-world security workflows, and my certifications validate that expertise with practical credibility.

ACTIVE RESEARCH
ML-Based Intrusion Detection & Response for CAN Automotive Networks

Pipeline: Rule Sentinel + LightGBM classifier + TCN Autoencoder with SHAP explainability. Trained on CAN-v1.5, ROAD & MIRGU datasets. F1 = 99.5% in-domain; cross-domain ROAD AUC improved from 0.54 to 0.93 via MMD fine-tuning. Targeting IEEE publication.
