About Me
As a Computer Science student with a strong foundation in full-stack development, I am passionate about the critical challenge of securing the cloud infrastructure that powers our digital world. My focus is on the intersection of software development and cybersecurity, building applications that are not just functional, but also resilient and secure by design.
I have hands-on experience building and deploying applications using Python, C++, and the MERN stack. My internship at Prodigy InfoTech honed my skills in front-end development and API integration. I am now actively expanding my expertise into cloud security, working with AWS services ( IAM, EC2, S3, VPC) and practicing vulnerability assessment with tools like Nmap and Wireshark.

Projects
Secure Cloud-Native Web App
An end-to-end full-stack web application deployed on AWS with a security-first approach. This project demonstrates the ability to not only build but also securely deploy and manage cloud infrastructure.
Features:
- User authentication (JWT) & secure file uploads to S3
- Containerized with Docker for consistent environments
- Infrastructure provisioned with Terraform (IaC)
- Network isolation with a custom VPC and security groups
Python Network Vulnerability Scanner
A command-line tool built with Python to perform basic network reconnaissance. The tool scans a given IP address or range for open ports and identifies potential service vulnerabilities.
Features:
- Multi-threaded scanning for efficiency
- Identifies common ports (HTTP, SSH, etc.)
- Banner grabbing to identify service versions
- Generates a simple report of findings
Full-Stack E-Commerce Platform
A feature-rich e-commerce website demonstrating full-stack development proficiency. This project showcases the ability to handle complex state management, database interactions, and user workflows.
Features:
- Product catalog, shopping cart, and user profiles
- Order history and mock payment gateway integration
- Complex state management using Redux
