DEFENSIVE MINDSET // OFFENSIVE SKILLS
Specializing in Red Team Operations, Active Directory Exploitation, and SOC Defense. Hands-on trainer and researcher breaking down real-world attack vectors to help teams build resilient, threat-tested infrastructure.
I work at the intersection of offensive security and defensive monitoring. Based in Kochi, I focus on auditing web applications and Active Directory environments, constructing practical attack simulations, and teaching engineers how modern intrusions actually unfold.
Currently working as a Cyber Security Researcher - Trainer at RedTeam Hacker Academy, I design custom lab environments, configure detection pipelines in Wazuh and Splunk, and train teams to triage live incidents rather than just memorize theory.
Delivering hands-on training in offensive tradecraft, Active Directory attack paths, and SOC defense operations.
Guided aspiring developers through core programming logic, software architecture fundamentals, and hands-on debugging workflows.
Rigorous computer science curriculum with strong emphasis on networking protocols, Linux systems administration, database management, and structured programming.
Executed black-box and grey-box security assessments against client web applications, identifying vulnerabilities prior to production deployment.
Engineered responsive web applications and backend APIs for freelance clients, establishing deep practical insight into HTTP mechanics, session management, and server architecture that drives my offensive security research.
Started cybersecurity journey in December 2019, consistently competing in global Capture The Flag tournaments and offensive challenge platforms.
Configured a multi-node Wazuh cluster monitoring Windows and Linux endpoints. Ingested sysmon logs, detected privilege escalation, and mapped alerts to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
Isolated enterprise AD lab running on Windows Server 2019. Simulated AS-REP roasting, Kerberoasting, BloodHound domain analysis, and credential harvesting paths.
Simulated real-world adversary intrusions to produce authentic multi-source security logs. Built custom Splunk search dashboards for fast incident triage and root cause discovery.
Architected capture-the-flag environments and training challenges targeting OWASP web vulnerabilities, cryptographic weaknesses, and network traffic exfiltration.
