Who I Am

I'm a second-year B.Tech Computer Science student at Nirma University with a hands-on obsession for offensive security. My work spans penetration testing, red team tooling, web application security, and network analysis.

I built L.E.A.P. — a modular Linux post-exploitation framework written entirely in Bash — from scratch. I've competed in global CTF competitions, placed #125 globally at the AWS Skills to Job CTF, and explored vulnerability research on Bugcrowd.

Open to roles in penetration testing, vulnerability research, and security engineering — remote or on-site.
