Security Compliance & GRC Strategy | Mitigating Deepfake Vulnerabilities | Risk Management

About Me

I'm a BTech Cyber Security student at Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College with a passion for developing innovative AI/ML solutions and cybersecurity systems.

As a project leader, I've successfully managed cross-functional teams to deliver award-winning solutions including TrustTrace (deepfake detection platform), LinuxAdmin (security management system), and VerifyIT (misinformation detection).

My work has been recognized globally with the Intel AI Challenge 2025 victory, and I've published 9 research papers in Scopus-indexed journals along with securing a patent in cybersecurity and AI domains.

Current Focus: Leveraging technical expertise to drive complex technology initiatives in project management roles while continuing research in AI safety and cybersecurity.
