I'm a cybersecurity practitioner and CTF developer currently pursuing my Bachelor of Computer Applications at Yenepoya University, Bengaluru.
I specialize in SOC analysis, Purple Teaming, cryptography, and steganography. I actively contribute to community learning, tool building, and competitive security environments.
As a core member of Team Triada, I design multi-category CTF challenges and build competition environments. I've also trained 80+ students in Linux fundamentals and CTF domains from scratch through YenShield.
