About Me

A Brief Introduction

A fervently dedicated information security professional with a youthful spirit, backed by a robust 3-year journey in the field. I proudly hold industry valued certifications like OSEP (OffSec Experienced Pentester), OSCP (OffSec Certified Professional), and CRTE (Certified Red Team Expert), showcasing my commitment to excellence.
My hunger for knowledge is insatiable, as seen in my adeptness at weaponizing information through conquering CTFs, machines, and pro labs on platforms like HackTheBox. Beyond personal achievements, I've earned a silver medal nationally, representing my state in the fiercely competitive IndianSkills Cybersecurity Competition.
My expertise extends across Red Teaming, Adversary Emulation, Active Directory Pentesting, Assume Breach strategies, Web Application Penetration Testing, Network Pentesting, and the art of automating security operations.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I have a deep passion for machines, including cars and motorcycles, and find solace in the gym. An avid cricket enthusiast, my love for the sport translated into three appearances in district-level cricket from 2014 to 2016, reflecting my dedication and skill on the field.
