About Me

I'm a passionate cybersecurity professional based in Kathmandu, Nepal, specializing in security operations, threat intelligence, and vulnerability research.

"Motivated to learn and grow in the field, with a collaborative mindset and a focus on delivering effective solutions."

With experience spanning SOC operations, independent security research on Intigriti's bug bounty platform, and a strong academic foundation from London Metropolitan University, I bring a well-rounded perspective to security challenges.

I work across the full security lifecycle — from proactive threat hunting and SIEM monitoring to incident response and detailed vulnerability reporting.
