I'm a Security Researcher and Developer specializing in Offensive Security. I break complex systems to build them stronger, focusing on Cloud Security and Web Application defense at Zscaler.
About The User
My journey started with a simple "Hello World" and evolved into a relentless pursuit of root access. I bridge the gap between building software and breaking it.
With over 3 years of experience, I've moved from bug bounty hunting—securing acknowledgments from companies like Vodafone and Airtel—to protecting enterprise cloud infrastructure.
When I'm not auditing code or fuzzing endpoints, I'm contributing to open-source tools or educating the next generation of hackers.
