I break things to learn how they hold. First place at the BVRIT CTF, top 10 nationally in a 24-hour exploitation contest, and a scanner of my own that maps attack surface before anyone else does.

Security is a practice, not a subject

I’m a cybersecurity undergraduate working across network security, vulnerability assessment, threat analysis and offensive security — mostly through competitive CTFs and tools I build to answer questions my coursework doesn’t.

That split matters to me. CTFs taught me to think like an attacker under a clock; building a Python reconnaissance scanner and an AI-driven phishing detector taught me what it takes to make findings usable by someone who has to act on them — ranked by risk, explainable, and light on false positives.

As General Secretary of my college’s cybersecurity club I run awareness drives and technical workshops, which keeps me honest about the other half of this job: translating technical risk for people who don’t live in a terminal. I’m now building depth in cloud security, governance and emerging threats.

Things I built

Web Threat Intelligence

web-threat-intel/
  • An AI-powered threat intelligence system that flags phishing sites, malicious URLs and QR-code–based attacks using machine learning and NLP.
  • A risk-based scoring framework that ranks suspicious web resources across multiple threat indicators, so analysts triage the worst thing first.
  • Explainable AI (XAI) layered over the classifier, so a verdict comes with its reasoning — readable by technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
  • Tuned detection output to cut false positives and speed up decisions during investigations.
Machine LearningNLP Explainable AIPhishing Detection Risk Scoring

Vulnerability Scanner

vuln-scanner/
  • A Python tool that automates network reconnaissance — host discovery and service enumeration — on top of Nmap and Scapy.
  • Automated port scanning and service identification to surface weak points across networked systems.
  • Analyses discovered services and documents the resulting attack surface, turning a raw scan into something a security assessment can actually use.
  • Scripted end to end, so repeat assessments stay consistent instead of depending on who ran them.

TCP/IP Chat Application

tcp-chat/
  • A client–server communication app built from raw sockets to get networking protocols into my hands rather than my notes.
  • Connection management and message handling that keep delivery ordered and dependable between distributed clients.
  • Hands-on with TCP session establishment, client–server architecture and protocol-level behaviour — the groundwork for reading traffic properly in Wireshark.

Let’s talk security

I’m looking for an internship or entry-level role where I can work on real assessments, real detections and real incidents. If that’s a team you’re building, I’d like to hear from you.
