A little bit about me 🧑‍💻

I'm currently working towards my Computer Science degree at Amrita Vishwa Vidhyapeetham in Bangalore. Cybersecurity is a field that truly excites me 🔒, and I've built a solid foundation in Python programming 🐍. I enjoy exploring new technologies 💡, building interesting projects 🏗️, and sharing my knowledge with others 🤝.

Here's what I'm currently up to 🚀

  • Led the CodeChef ASEB coding club as president for one year, and continue to support and contribute to its ongoing development and engagement 🧑‍🤝‍🧑.
  • Domain Lead for Binary Exploitation at @bi0sblr, where I focus on playing CTF's and finding vulnerabilities in Linux applications 🕵️‍♂️.
  • Help organize the monthly @bi0smeetups and also maintain the backend 📚.
  • Developing a tool to automatically detect and exploit vulnerabilities in a binary ⚙️.

My Skillset 🧰

I'm proficient in Python and have experience with C, Bash, and Batch scripting. I also have intermediate skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I've explored React and C++.

I've worked with various web frameworks like Django, Flask, and Selenium, as well as data science libraries like Pandas, Numpy, and Scikit-learn. I've even dabbled in game development with Pygame and Ursina! 🎮

I'm comfortable using tools like Git, Docker, and various databases (MongoDB, Firebase, PostgreSQL, etc.). I'm a fellow Linux (I use Arch btw) user 🐧 and also Windows 🪟.

In the cybersecurity realm, I've gained experience in binary exploitation, utilizing tools like Ghidra, Radare2, and Metasploit. I also have a basic understanding of cloud computing with Google Cloud Platform.

My Projects 💻

Chord Analyzer FSM 🎶

This Python application analyzes music chords in real-time, either by recording live input from an electric piano via MIDI or by processing pre-recorded audio files. It leverages the power of Finite State Automata (FSM) to accurately detect and identify chords.

  • 🎼 Real-time chord recognition
  • 🎹 MIDI support
  • 📂 Audio file processing
  • ⚙️ FSM implementation
