Who I am

I'm a Second-year Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student at Sri Sairam Engineering College who builds and breaks production systems. Promoted from web development to security engineering in a single month at STIC, I now combine full-stack expertise with a security-first mindset to ship platforms that are both functional and hardened against real attacks.

Current focus
›Security engineering & white-box testing
›Full-stack systems — FastAPI, Next.js
›Cloud platforms & secure SDLC workflows
Research interests
›Scalable AI Solutions
›Agentic AI attack surfaces
›LLM OWASP Top 10
›AI for Security
