01 — About
A bit about me
I'm a security practitioner focused on offensive security — penetration testing, red team operations, and vulnerability management. I currently work at TIAA, where I help identify and remediate security gaps across systems, networks, and applications through hands-on technical assessments and purple team collaboration.
My academic background spans an M.Sc. in Information Security and a B.Tech in Computer Engineering, complemented by industry certifications including OSCP+, OSCP, eJPT, and AWS Certified Security – Specialty. I'm always exploring new tools, techniques, and TTPs that push offensive security forward.
