Cybersecurity Researcher • AI/ML Engineer • Full-Stack Developer

B.Tech Student at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

My work is built on a core philosophy: to truly defend a system, you must understand how to break it. As a multifaceted cybersecurity professional, I immerse myself in the attacker's mindset through penetration testing, malware engineering, and security research. I then utilize this deep threat intelligence to architect and engineer proactive, AI/ML-powered security solutions on scalable full-stack platforms.

About Me

I started out writing exploits and hacking into stuff just for fun, just trying to see how far I could push systems and what I could make them do. At some point, I realized those same skills could actually be used to help people by making tech safer.

Right now, I'm doing my B.Tech at NIT Rourkela and running Rapture Twelve, where I work on red teaming, malware analysis, and building security tools powered by AI/ML. What started off as late-night experiments slowly turned into creating frameworks that can automate threat detection, simulate attacks, and strengthen defenses.

I still get the same kick out of breaking and building things, but these days I try to put that energy into solving real problems. I use AI and ML to make security smarter and more scalable, contribute to open-source projects, and share what I learn along the way. Basically: I break things so other people don't have to.

Get In Touch

I'm always open to discussing new projects, creative ideas, or opportunities to be part of an ambitious vision. Feel free to reach out.
