About

I am a B.Tech Computer Science graduate and Compliance Analyst @ Hexnode with 1+ years of experience bridging the gap between security governance and technical development. Currently, I am further specializing my skill set through the Professional Certificate in Cybersecurity and AI from IIT Madras Pravartak, focusing on the intersection of machine learning and threat intelligence. Currently, I manage end-to-end information security programs, ensuring organizational alignment with global standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Beyond policy, I leverage my technical roots in Python and Web Development to automate compliance workflows and build secure, scalable solutions. I am now seeking new challenges in Software Development or Cybersecurity where I can apply my "security-first" mindset to build resilient applications and protect digital assets. Core Technical Skills: Development: Python, SQL, Web Development (HTML/CSS/JS), Secure SDLC, Git. Compliance & GRC: NIST CSF, SOC 2 Readiness, ISO 27001, Data Privacy (GDPR), Gap Analysis. Cybersecurity: Risk Assessment, Phishing Simulation, Threat Intelligence, Shadow IT Mitigation, Vulnerability Awareness. Let’s connect to discuss how I can contribute to your engineering or security team!
