A little about me

I am a Cyber Security Specialist at a German car manufacturer, operating across both offensive (Red Team) and defensive (Blue Team) security domains, specializing in threat mitigation, incident response, and network security. I recently graduated with an MSc in Cyber Security with Distinction from the University of London, building upon my Computer Science bachelors from Anna University, Chennai.

My approach to security is proactive. By actively researching vulnerabilities in my spare time, I stay ahead of emerging threats to better protect the systems I manage. This dedication has ranked me #5 in Singapore on the Google Bug Hunters Leaderboard.

I have identified and reported critical vulnerabilities to organizations like Google, Jio, IATA, and Singapore's LumiHealth. Whether I am mitigating active threats or researching new ones, my goal remains the same: building a safer digital environment.
