About me

Second-year CS student
with a security-first mindset

I'm a second-year Computer Science (Hons) student at London South Bank University, with a keen interest in cybersecurity, AI, and building projects that matter.

When I'm not studying or coding, I work as an Interview Preparation Coach at Nusair Education and represent my department as a CSI Student Ambassador — helping inspire the next generation to get into tech.

I'm currently working towards my ISC² Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) qualification and actively building in public through my GitHub.

Languages I speak: English (fluent), Tamil (native), Japanese (beginner 🌸).
