Cybersecurity professional with an MSc in Information Security from Royal Holloway, University of London — an NCSC/GCHQ-accredited programme. My focus spans threat detection, SOC operations, incident response, and digital forensics, with a strong interest in applying analytical skills to real-world security challenges.

During a six-month internship at the Cyber Crime Department, Government of Puducherry, I investigated cases involving phishing, financial fraud, and identity theft using tools such as Autopsy and FTK. I supported ISO/IEC 27001-aligned policy development, collaborated with law enforcement on incident response, and delivered cybersecurity training to over 200 officers.

I currently serve as an Adjunct Professor at Shiv Nadar University, Chennai, teaching cybersecurity at university level — translating industry practice into the classroom and helping build the next intake of security practitioners.

I continuously build hands-on skills through Blue Team Labs Online and TryHackMe — working through log analysis, threat hunting, malware investigation, and network defence scenarios. I also develop Python and Bash tools to automate security workflows, with projects in phishing detection, SOC log analysis, and threat intelligence.
