CHAPTER ONE

ORIGIN STORY

My origin story didn't start with a keyboard; it started with a screwdriver. Long before I wrote my first line of code, I was the kid dismantling toys and gadgets just to see what made them tick.

That drive to reverse-engineer the world around me eventually evolved into a passion for software and security. Today, as a B.Tech CSIT student, I’ve traded plastic gears for backend architecture and cybersecurity exploits. I don’t just want to use technology—I want to break it down, understand the core, and build it back stronger.

For me, it’s never been about just consuming cool tech. It’s about dissecting it, mastering it, and discovering what’s possible when relentless curiosity meets code.

THE THREAT LAB

When I am not building systems I am breaking practice ones. CTF rooms, web exploitation and LLM attack labs keep my security instincts sharp.
