Chennai, India · 2025

I'm a Security Operations Engineer at Sysnet System and Solutions, working in a multi-client SOC environment in Chennai. I graduated in December 2024 and hit the ground running.

My work sits at the intersection of detection engineering, automation, and infrastructure. I don't just monitor threats — I build the systems that catch them, report on them, and respond to them.

Outside the SOC, I run self-hosted infrastructure, build Chrome extensions, write Python tooling, and pursue side projects at the intersection of security and software.
