Mission: Making India safer online
I started my cybersecurity journey in 8th grade when I was learning the basics of computers. One day, I heard the word "hacking," and it instantly made me curious about the world of cybersecurity.
To explore this field, I joined a state-recognized course by MKCL, where I learned the fundamentals of cybersecurity for the first time. Over the next few years, I earned certifications from global organizations such as Cisco, EC-Council, and Edunox, along with many others.
My vision is to help make India safer on the internet by spreading cybersecurity awareness and protecting innocent people from scammers and online threats.
Thank you for being a part of my journey.

Why this matters
Every day, ordinary people lose money and data to online scams that look more convincing than ever. I built TrustByte so my family, my friends, and millions of strangers don't have to guess who's real on the internet.
"If TrustByte stops even one scam in someone's life — that's worth every late night building it."
