Milestones
Activities & Achievements
Speaking at premier conferences, organizing national CTFs, and earning academic recognition along the way — a few of the moments worth marking.
Speaking
Tool Demo at IIT Bombay
Presented a live demonstration of a Passive Domain Misconfiguration Analyzer to researchers at IIT Bombay's Trust Lab — showcasing real-world DMARC and SPF failure patterns detected silently across enterprise domains. The session sparked discussion on how subtle email-auth misconfigurations open the door to large-scale phishing campaigns.
Academic
2nd Rank — B.Tech CSE
Graduated with an 8.75 CGPA and secured 2nd Rank in the B.Tech CSE (Cybersecurity & Forensics) cohort at MIT-ADT University the result of four years balancing rigorous coursework with applied security research, CTF competitions, and independent tool development on the side.
Conference
AI Village at C0C0N
Facilitated a hands-on AI & cybersecurity workshop at C0C0N, Kerala's most respected infosec conference, drawing researchers, government officials, and security practitioners from across South Asia. The workshop demonstrated how to perform static code analysis using open-source LLMs, an experimental, locally-runnable alternative to traditional SAST tooling.
