Experience

Security Engineer (IS2 Grade) — ITC Infotech

July 2026 – Present · Bangalore, India (On-Site)

Project: Security Engineering — AI for Security & Security for AI

Converted from the cybersecurity internship into a full-time Security Engineer at the IS2 grade on 16 July 2026. Working across AI for Security and Security for AI — autonomous detection tooling and ML/agent supply-chain hardening — alongside VAPT engagements, SOC detection engineering across Microsoft Sentinel (KQL) and Splunk, and a shift-left DevSecOps focus.

Delivering reusable, explainable detection engineering and maintaining an open-source security tooling suite; supporting GRC control audits (J-SOX, MICS) across IT general controls — access, change, and segregation-of-duties; and presenting security architecture and business value to executive leadership.

Cybersecurity Intern — ITC Infotech

January 2026 – July 2026 · Bangalore, India (On-Site)

Project: Agentic Email Security

Completed intensive cybersecurity training — OSI/TCP-IP, DMZ design, VAPT (Burp Suite, Nmap, sqlmap, Nessus), OWASP Top 10 remediation (SQLi, XSS, Broken Access Control), SOC operations (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk SPL, Defender EDR/XDR), AWS Shared Responsibility Model, MFA/SSO (SAML/OAuth 2.0), DevSecOps shift-left, and OS hardening. Engineered a multi-agentic AI email-security system of 7 LangGraph-orchestrated agents to autonomously detect and neutralize threats in real time.

The system reached ~96–97% threat-detection accuracy with a <0.8% miss rate and ~1.3% false positives, and cut SOC email triage from ~30 minutes to a few seconds via an explainable, SOC-ready decision pipeline — leading to conversion into a full-time Security Engineer (IS2) role at the end of the internship.
