About

I build secure applications, automate complex workflows with AI, and hunt for vulnerabilities before they become threats. As a pre-final year Computer Science student at VIT Bhopal University specializing in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, I approach software engineering with an attacker’s mindset. I believe that building resilient software requires a deep understanding of how to break it, which drives my passion for creating tools that bridge development and security. My development workflow is built for speed and scale. Embracing a "vibe coding" philosophy, I leverage local and cloud large language models like Gemini and Mistral 8B to accelerate scripting and research. This allows me to focus my energy on high-level architecture and logic, helping me move quickly across the full stack. Whether I am designing user interfaces with React and Tailwind CSS or building robust backends with Python and Django, I treat every layer of an application as an opportunity to optimize performance and integrity. Over the past year, I have focused heavily on engineering applied AI and security tools. Recently, I developed AutoPenterS, an automated penetration testing framework powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash, which I showcased at the HackByte 4.0 national hackathon. Beyond security, I have explored computer vision architectures by building AgriScan, a smart plant disease detection system, and I recently prepared and stress-tested a custom machine learning model, Agent Alpha V2, for production environments. My academic projects are grounded in real-world professional experience. I have led comprehensive manual testing and UI/UX analysis for the AIVOA.AI platform. Outside of the codebase, I serve as the Public Relations Lead for the Metaversity Club, where I focus on community engagement and communicating complex technical concepts effectively. I am currently seeking software development, AI integration, and security roles where I can build innovative tools and help teams ship secure, high-quality software.
