About Me

I'm a security professional with seven years of experience in Cloud Security. Currently at Adobe, I focus on detecting cloud threats at scale. I hold a Master's in Information Security from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor's in Computer Science from Vellore Institute of Technology, India.

I am passionate about designing large-scale secure systems with a focus on Cloud Security, Application Security, and Threat Intelligence. My expertise includes detecting cloud threats at scale, developing automated security pipelines, and implementing proactive threat hunting frameworks. I've worked extensively with AWS environments, aligning cloud infrastructure with enterprise security policies and strengthening security controls. My recent focus has been on Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly in the area of LLM security. I'm deeply interested in understanding and mitigating security vulnerabilities in these systems, including sophisticated attacks like jailbreaking and prompt injection. I work on developing robust defenses against adversarial techniques that attempt to bypass safety guardrails in LLMs, while also exploring the broader implications of these technologies for cybersecurity. This intersection of AI and security presents fascinating challenges that combine my expertise in threat detection with emerging technologies. I actively contribute to open-source projects and regularly participate in Capture the Flag competitions and Hackthebox challenges with the handle backdoorcipher.
