BSc AI (Hons) Student · Google Student Ambassador (APAC) · Aspire Leaders Program Scholar '26 · Aspiring Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking Professional

The world runs on systems. I'm learning to break them — ethically — and build smarter ones.

about

Security as a mindset, not a feature

I'm a B.Sc. Artificial Intelligence student at the Central Tribal University of Andhra Pradesh, and a Google Student Ambassador for the APAC region. My focus sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and AI — the area I believe will define the next decade of digital defense.

I've had hands-on exposure to security through an internship at SparkIIT, where I worked on real-world threat scenarios, secure system design, and ethical hacking fundamentals. As a Google Student Ambassador, I lead tech communities on campus — running workshops on AI and developer tools, and mentoring students to build real projects.

I'm also a scholar in the Aspire Leaders Program (Cohort 2, 2026), a globally competitive initiative that sharpens leadership, cross-cultural collaboration, and strategic thinking. What drives me is simple: security isn't a product — it's a mindset, and I'm building mine every day.
