My Story
I'm a Computer Science student with a focused specialisation in cybersecurity — not just as a subject to study, but as a discipline to master and contribute to. While coursework provides the foundation, the real learning happens when building tools that work against actual threats.
My journey started with genuine curiosity about how systems are compromised. That curiosity led to CTFs, TryHackMe, bug bounty programs, and hours spent reading CVE disclosures and exploit writeups. When I discovered how AI can accelerate security tool development, my pace of building improved dramatically. I now architect and ship security tools with the kind of depth that typically requires a full team.
Every project I've built — ThreatByte, Chrontinal, the Pentest Report Tool — came from identifying a real gap in the security tooling ecosystem and deciding to build the solution myself. Hands-on experience combined with structured learning is how I develop.
I'm actively seeking a cybersecurity internship — whether free or stipend-based, what matters to me is learning from industry professionals and contributing real value to a security team. I bring genuine project experience, a strong work ethic, and the ability to learn quickly.
Experience
Independent Security Tool Builder
Self-directed · Active
2024 – Present
Building ThreatByte (AI-powered URL threat detection) and Chrontinal (full-stack agentic SIEM platform) independently. Using AI-accelerated development to ship production-grade security tools while still in college — tools that compete with commercial products on capability.
Bug Bounty Hunter & CTF Player
TryHackMe · Bug Bounty Platforms
2024 – Present · Active
Actively practicing on TryHackMe labs (username: prudhvisiva03). Hunting on bug bounty platforms focusing on web vulnerability analysis — XSS, SQLi, IDOR, SSRF. Learning real attacker tradecraft on live targets.
