I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at Saintgits College of Engineering (Autonomous) with a strong focus on cybersecurity and its real-world applications.
As the Captain of my college’s Cybersecurity Club CTF Team, I lead and participate in multiple Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions, gaining practical exposure to ethical hacking, security tools, and defensive strategies. I am passionate about building secure, scalable systems and continuously upskilling in cybersecurity while strengthening my foundation in software development.
I'm currently building Trackent, a modern event aggregator platform.
The core concept is to provide a dynamic and engaging "reel-style" feed (like YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels) for users to discover upcoming events, workshops, and activities.
