About Me

I'm a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer and MCIS student at Pokhara University with a merit award — ranked top of cohort across all semesters.

My expertise spans penetration testing, web application security, AI/LLM security, red/blue/purple team operations, and building robust production systems. I currently serve as a Part-time Lecturer at Softwarica College of IT and E-Commerce, shaping the next generation of IT professionals.

I'm driven by a mission to make the digital world more secure — one vulnerability at a time. Whether it's breaking into systems, building API gateways, or teaching students, I pour the same passion into everything I do.
