"Digital evidence doesn't lie — it only needs the right analyst to make it speak."

I'm a postgraduate student at one of India's premier institutions for forensic science, building deep expertise at the intersection of digital forensics and information security. My work spans mobile device forensics, network analysis, incident response, and security tooling — always with an investigator's mindset: methodical, evidence-driven, precise.

Currently interning at Central Forensics Science Laboratory, Chandigarh (June 2026), I've also gained hands-on experience at Netsmartz in cybersecurity operations and Super Student in quality assurance. I'm an active CTF competitor and continue building open-source tools that aid forensic investigation workflows.

My undergraduate foundation in Computer Applications from Amity University (77.1%) gave me the programming and systems depth that now powers my forensic research at NFSU Goa.
