THM Advent of Cyber days

I'm a B.Tech Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student at St. Joseph's College of Engineering & Technology, Palai, Kerala — passionate about vulnerability assessment, SOC operations, and building secure systems from the ground up.

From running Wireshark captures and Nessus scans to deploying Flask apps on AWS with Docker, I thrive where theory meets hands-on challenge. I led the DevOps Interest Group at Mulearn, co-led cybersecurity initiatives at GTech Mulearn, and volunteered at the SEASIDES Conference 2025 in Goa.

When I'm not breaking or building things digitally, you'll find me on the tennis court or planning my next travel destination.
