I am a passionate cybersecurity professional with a strong academic background, currently completing my Masters in Computer Science at SUNY Binghamton. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology from the University of Mumbai, which laid the foundation for my technical expertise and interest in information security. Over the years, I have actively engaged in various technical activities and competitions, such as JerseyCTF and the CTF Club at SUNY Binghamton, where I honed my skills in forensic analysis, cryptography, and reverse engineering.
I have practical experience managing cybersecurity environments, including creating a personal virtual SOC lab using tools like pfSense, Suricata, and Kali Linux. This hands-on experience has strengthened my understanding of intrusion detection and network security. Additionally, I have contributed as a volunteer coach for Trace Labs, guiding OSINT teams during global Search Party events, which enhanced my skills in open-source intelligence gathering and team collaboration.
My professional experience includes roles such as Junior Information Security Analyst at Syndicate Services LLC, where I monitor network activities, support defensive technology deployments, and improve alert workflows. I also worked as a Research Intern at SUNY Binghamton, deploying secure communication solutions and assessing IAM practices. Earlier, I served as a Junior SOC Analyst at TCRInnovation in Mumbai, where I monitored security alerts and tuned SIEM systems to reduce false positives and improve detection accuracy.
I have developed several projects, including a secure online voting platform using Python with SSL/TLS encryption and a multithreaded web proxy server. These projects demonstrate my ability to apply security principles in practical applications, focusing on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
I am continuously advancing my knowledge through certifications such as OffSec OSCP, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, CompTIA Security+, and the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. My technical skills span a wide range of security tools, platforms, and domains, including incident response, digital forensics, SIEM, and OSINT. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to contribute effectively to cybersecurity teams and projects.
Coached 15+ OSINT teams in real-time CTF investigations, validating over 100 pieces of intelligence and ensuring highest accuracy in submissions during global Search Party events. Utilized OSINT tools like Wayback Machine, Google Dorking, and TruePeopleSearch to validate 100+ submissions and uncover digital footprints.
Monitored network and system activity through centralized logging, assisting in investigations and refining alert workflows to improve detection accuracy. Supported deployment of defensive technologies, access reviews, and documentation efforts, enhancing policy compliance and audit.
Deployed Passbolt on AWS with SSL/TLS, RBAC, and automated backups; built a custom firewall to segment traffic and began developing a VPN solution for secure inter-environment communication. Collaborated with a cybersecurity professor to assess IAM practices, network segmentation, and policy adherence across the university’s infrastructure, identifying and documenting key security gaps.
Monitored and triaged over 500+ security alerts using Chronicle and Suricata, identifying patterns of DNS tunneling and brute-force attacks across enterprise logs. Tuned SIEM alerts by analyzing recurring false positives and writing basic rule logic to improve detection accuracy, reducing average alert noise and response time by 15%.
