More about me ⚡

I’m a Security-focused Platform Engineer currently pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science (Cyber Security) at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tiruchirappalli. I specialize in architecting, designing, and scaling highly secure systems from scratch.

My expertise spans ICS/OT security, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), and distributed edge-cloud architectures. I’ve led full-lifecycle system design for high-stakes hackathons, securing multiple 1st and 2nd place national victories — including MEITY’s CyberShield 2026 and the HackTheBox Hackathon.

I’m an accomplished CTF competitor with 20+ wins and 25+ finalist placements across national and international competitions. I compete in reverse engineering, binary exploitation, web and cloud security challenges, consistently securing cash prizes.

On the technical side, I work primarily with Python, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native solutions (GCP, AWS). I’ve built everything from Post-Quantum Cryptography ecosystems to ICS control server architectures for simulated nuclear power plant environments.

Currently, I also serve as a Systems Administrator for the ECE/VLSI Lab at SRM, managing complex EDA tools from Synopsys and Cadence and maintaining zero-downtime Linux laboratory infrastructure.

Outside of security, I run the DarkLead! Community — a growing security community where I’ve architected the entire public-facing infrastructure using containerized microservices and automated CI/CD pipelines.
