About Me

Who I Am

Final-year B.Tech student in AI & Data Science at VR Siddhartha Engineering College, Vijayawada — CGPA 8.73.

I build systems at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity. From automated attack path planning using Graph Attention Networks to multi-modal phishing detection combining vision and language models — I bring research depth and engineering execution. My encryption project was featured in MLH Global Hack Week. Currently pursuing EC-Council CEH.
