About

I’m a Computer Science undergraduate specializing in Cybersecurity, currently serving as Vice President – Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) at MIT Bengaluru, where I coordinate student initiatives, manage documentation, and support digital outreach across teams. In this leadership role, I’ve developed strong organizational discipline, structured documentation, and cross-team coordination—skills that translate directly into cybersecurity environments where clear reporting, process adherence, and accountability are critical. My academic focus is on information security, network fundamentals, and secure system practices. Alongside my coursework, I am actively building my cybersecurity foundation through self-learning and practical exposure to core security concepts such as risk awareness, security fundamentals, and system protection principles. Beyond technical learning, my experience in communication, documentation, and operational coordination has strengthened my ability to clearly convey information, follow structured processes, and collaborate effectively—capabilities that are essential in roles involving security monitoring, compliance, incident documentation, and operational security support. I’m particularly interested in opportunities within SOC operations, cybersecurity analysis, IT security support, or GRC, where I can continue developing hands-on expertise while contributing responsibly to security-focused teams. Open to entry-level cybersecurity roles and internships where I can learn, contribute, and grow within the security domain.
