About Me

Developer by passion.
Defender by design.

I am a B.Tech Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student who enjoys building practical applications that solve real-world problems.

My journey started with web development, where I explored building responsive and interactive applications. As I learned more about how software and systems work, I became increasingly interested in cybersecurity and how those systems can be protected.

Today, I am focused on strengthening my DSA and problem-solving skills while building practical projects across software development and cybersecurity.

Building at the intersection of software engineering and cybersecurity.
