About Me

Building Secure
Systems

I work at the intersection of offensive security and software engineering — finding vulnerabilities before attackers do, and building systems resilient enough to withstand them.

My research at Anna University produced a Quantum-Inspired Gateway IDPS for IoT — combining entropy-based anomaly detection with real-time packet inspection using Python and Scapy.

I compete in CTFs and hackathons, placing 1st at Dr. MGR College and reaching finals at Hacksagon, IIITM Gwalior and TN Police Hackathon 2025.
