About Me

Securing enterprise infrastructure, My journey in cybersecurity began with curiosity about network protocols, leading me to specialize in Threat Hunting and Vulnerability Assessment.

Currently, I leverage my experience at TCS to close the loop between Red Team engagements and Blue Team defense.

Here are the core technologies I work with:

  • Code (Python/Bash/Assembly/js/C/Rust)
  • SIEM (Splunk/Chronicle/Sentinel)
  • XDR (Sentinel One/Defender/Cortex)
  • AppSec (Burpsuite & etc)
  • DevSecOps (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • Cloud (Azure/AWS)
  • Infra (Networks/AD)
  • Adversary Emulation (C&C Servers)

Status: Active Defense
