01. About Me

I am a third-year B.E Computer Science and Engineering student at K. Ramakrishnan College of Technology, Trichy, Tamil Nadu with a current CGPA of 7.65 and a strong drive to build secure, intelligent systems.

My core interests span cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and full-stack development. I have hands-on internship experience as an AI Intern at XtraGrad and a Java Developer Intern at CodSoft, where I developed real-world applications using LLMs, prompt engineering, and OOP principles.

I was selected among 150 participants from 768 applicants for Chennai Hackfest 2026 (GDG Chennai), where I built a multilingual voice-enabled AI receptionist using the Google Gemini API. I actively explore cybersecurity through platforms like TryHackMe and completed a Deloitte Cyber Job Simulation on Forage.

I am working toward becoming a cybersecurity engineer while continuing to build projects at the intersection of AI, security, and cloud technologies.
