## About

I work at the intersection of cybersecurity investigation, threat intelligence, and education — and I build things\. I’m the founder of Z\-Constant, an independent cybersecurity consulting and training practice, formalized in January 2025 after several years building the groundwork as an independent practitioner since 2021\. Every part of that earlier work — training delivery, OSINT investigation, hardware security research — was building toward this: a structured company with a clear vision rather than scattered freelance work\. Our current focus is two\-fold: delivering security\-awareness and IT/cybersecurity training to corporate and institutional clients, and running Z\-Shield, a personal cybersecurity concierge service that brings managed digital protection to individuals and families\. My background spans OSINT investigation, threat\-intelligence research, and security operations\. I support state law enforcement as an OSINT analyst on cybercrime cases — financial fraud, digital profiling, and disinformation network mapping — and delivered a formal threat\-intelligence briefing to senior officers at a state Police Commissioner’s Office, covering AI\-driven fraud, hardware attack tools, and LLM\-enabled cybercrime\. I have been tracking how AI is reshaping the Indian cybercrime landscape since 2023\. I am also hands\-on\. I maintain a portfolio of self\-built wireless and hardware security research platforms — from 802\.11 reconnaissance to rogue\-AP and HID\-injection labs — used for live demonstrations and continuous skill\-building, alongside home\-lab SIEM work \(Splunk, Elastic, Wazuh\) and three years architecting a 20\-node virtualized attack/defence training range at a professional training institute\. What drives the work is a simple reality: cybercrime is scaling fast as AI lowers the barrier to attack, while millions of people are coming online without the awareness to stay safe\. I want to close that gap — through education, real\-world threat intelligence, and practical protection\. CEH v13 Master · CCT · C3SA · Fortinet NSE 1 & 2
