About

Graduated with a Bachelor of Technology and Law in Cyber Laws from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, I have built a strong foundation in web and mobile application security. At UltraViolet Cyber, I conduct penetration testing of web applications, APIs, and mobile apps, leveraging skills in static and dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, and runtime instrumentation to identify and address critical vulnerabilities. My work focuses on assessing applications against industry standards, such as OWASP Top 10 and MASVS, ensuring robust authentication, authorization, and data security. I am driven to deliver clear, actionable insights and collaborate with teams to prioritize and implement secure design improvements, safeguarding systems against emerging threats.
