About

Defending digital systems by understanding how threats actually unfold.

Enthusiastic student of cybersecurity who has a dedicated focus on defensive operations and Blue Team workflows. Most of my time is spent building hands-on skills in threat detection, SIEM monitoring, network security, threat intelligence, and incident response (IR). My immediate goal is straightforward: step into a SOC Analyst (L1) role where I can triage real-world alerts, investigate incidents, and contribute effectively under strong mentorship.

To defend a network effectively, you have to understand how attackers break in. Alongside defensive monitoring, I maintain practical skills in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and Information Security assessments. That curiosity keeps me active in competitive labs every week achieving a 52K+ score on TryHackMe with a ~90+ capability score (Blue Badge), alongside Level 34 on Hack The Box at Hacker rank (averaging over 1,000 XP weekly).

Beyond hands-on technical labs, I have a strong passion for Information Security Audits and GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) bridging the gap between technical vulnerabilities and business risk. To stay ahead of how infrastructure is shifting, I am also continuously expanding my focus into cloud architecture and cloud security.

Driven by hands-on curiosity in the terminal, disciplined in daily practice, and focused on protecting what matters.
