A bit about me

I'm a final-year computer science student in Pune who likes understanding how systems break, so I can build ones that don't.

Security is where I spend most of my time: SIEM monitoring, detection rules and threat hunting. I'm just as happy writing code, whether that's a full-stack app, a CI/CD scanner or a GenAI chatbot.

Away from the screen I trek forts across Maharashtra, train at the gym, and compete in hackathons, CTFs and the occasional debate.

Studying

B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at Symbiosis Skills and Professional University. 2023 – 2027, CGPA 8.33.

Into

Detection engineering, threat hunting, cloud identity security, DevSecOps and applied GenAI.

Doing now

Running a home SOC lab, preparing for Microsoft SC-300 and SC-500, and working through TryHackMe's SOC Level 1 path.

Beyond the keyboard

Fort treks, the gym, hackathons, CTFs and debate. Events are below, and treks have their own Trail page.

And other online CTFs · Competitor · Online

Capture-the-flag practice that sharpens the same instincts I use in the SOC: reading evidence, forming a hypothesis, proving it.

06Blockchain vs fiat debateDebater
Debate competition · Debater

Argued the case on blockchain-based currency against fiat, which meant digging into how trust, control and security work in both systems.
