About Me

once, a 22-year-old kid decided he wanted to understand how things break. not to break them for bad, but to learn how to fix them even better.

now i spend my days at magmacore as an open source mentee through the linux foundation, building the future of telecom. by night (and sometimes by day), i help build accessible security education at cylynk in melbourne. because learning shouldn't cost a fortune.

my philosophy is simple: don't tell me your title, show me your work.

~ chapter 1: the breaking

it started with curiosity. i wanted to know what makes systems fail. so i built vulnerable labs for osmsec. real ones, with real exploits. thousands of people use them to learn. i wrote proof-of-concepts that ended up on offsec and hackthebox.

then i wondered: what if we could automate finding bugs? so i built lemonx. a system where ai agents test and fix code together, running entirely on github action runners. zero compute cost, maximum utility.

~ chapter 2: the building

while all this breaking was happening, i started building too.

densezk: a mobile-first zero-knowledge proof sdk that achieves 17x performance boost over existing solutions. rust, react-native, circom. because privacy shouldn't be slow.

lumen: an llm-assisted malware analysis framework that automates 90% of static analysis tasks. 150+ people have used it.

dialga: a version control system in rust. started as learning, became useful.

~ chapter 3: the leading

i believe the best security education is accessible. that's why i built certification courses at cylynk for people who can't afford expensive training.

i founded google developer groups at my campus. grew from zero to 1100 members in 9 months.

i lead next tech lab. a qs reimagine education awarded student society running since 2017.

i advisor for foss united, aws cloud club, and hackshastra.

~ chapter 4: the proving

i don't collect degrees. i collect proof.

github campus expert. 2% global acceptance
keploy api fellowship. 5.4% acceptance
bounty from offsec

currently pursuing b.tech at srm university-ap. the classroom taught me the least. what mattered most was showing up to different communities.

~ the end?

still writing...
