About Me:

Welcome to my digital corner of the universe! My journey into the realm of cybersecurity began amidst the whirlwind of India's demonetization. As digital wallets and online transactions surged, so did the threat of cyber attacks. A harrowing experience within my own family, where a cybercriminal impersonated a reputable bank, propelled me into the world of cybersecurity. The attacker, employing sophisticated social engineering tactics, managed to convince my relative that they were from a trusted financial institution. Under the guise of providing assistance with a purported account issue, the cybercriminal gained access to sensitive information and installed a remote desktop application on my relative's device. Through this malicious software, unauthorized transfers were executed, resulting in a significant financial loss. This unsettling ordeal not only underscored the vulnerability of individuals in the digital age but also ignited within me a fervent determination to combat such cyber threats. Like a modern-day Peter Parker, thrust into a world of danger, I felt the calling to become a cyber-hero, protecting innocents from the clutches of nefarious hackers.

Driven by this newfound mission, I embarked on an educational odyssey, traversing continents in pursuit of knowledge. From the bustling streets of India, where I earned my Bachelor's in Computer Science, to the sun-kissed shores of Australia, where I honed my skills with a Master's in Cybersecurity, and onward to Canada for a Postgraduate Certificate in Project Management, my quest for expertise knows no bounds.

Beyond the digital frontier, I find solace in exploration. Having journeyed through India, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, and Canada, I've discovered that true adventure lies in embracing the unknown.

Since childhood, gaming has been my faithful companion, shaping my problem-solving prowess and analytical acumen. Games like Hitman and Assassin's Creed have not only entertained me but also honed my abilities to navigate complex challenges with strategic finesse.

As for sustenance, nothing tantalizes my taste buds quite like a fragrant plate of Biryani. And when it comes to beverages, I straddle the line between tea and coffee, savoring the tranquility of a warm cup of tea for relaxation and the invigorating rush of coffee for productivity.
