02 — Skills
Technical Arsenal
Hands-on skills built through real projects, not just coursework.
Actively Expanding
Currently deepening: Advanced web exploitation (SQLi, XSS, SSRF chains), network penetration testing, and C2 framework internals. Practising daily on TryHackMe and live bug bounty programs. Every week something new gets added to this page.
Linux System AdministrationSolid
Comfortable navigating, scripting, and administering Linux environments. Daily driver for all security work.
TCP/IP & Network ProtocolsStrong
Understanding of OSI layers, packet analysis, DNS, HTTP/S, SMB — used actively in CTF and real scanning work.
Nmap & Network ReconnaissanceSolid
Proficient with Nmap scan types, NSE scripts, service version detection — used in Pentest Report Tool.
Web Vulnerability AnalysisLearning
Studying XSS, SQLi, IDOR and SSRF through TryHackMe rooms and bug bounty programs. Actively building this area.
Threat Detection & AnalysisPractical
Understand how threats work conceptually — applied in building ThreatByte's heuristic engine and Chrontinal's triage pipeline.
OSINT & Passive ReconnaissanceLearning
Google dorking, Shodan basics, public source intelligence gathering. Learning through TryHackMe OSINT rooms.
Honest note: I am not a traditional programmer who writes code from scratch. I understand Python, C, SQL and HTML/CSS well enough to read, debug, modify and direct AI-generated code — and I use that ability to build real, working security tools. My strength is in architecture, problem decomposition, and AI-accelerated delivery.
Python — Read, Understand & DirectSolid Literacy
I can read and understand Python well, modify logic, debug errors, and direct AI to build complete scripts. Used in all 3 projects.
SQL / DBMS — Concept & Query LevelSolid
Understand relational database concepts, can write and read queries, design schemas. Academic and applied through coursework.
C & HTML — Academic FoundationConceptual
Studied through coursework. Enough to understand how programs run at a low level — useful for OS security concepts.
System Architecture & DesignStrong
Breaking complex security problems into components, designing pipelines, and directing technical implementation — this is my core strength.
Prompt EngineeringHigh
Designing structured prompts for complex security analysis tasks, code generation, and report automation.
AI-Accelerated Tool DevelopmentHigh
Shipping production-grade tools faster by strategically using AI — not blindly, but with architectural judgment and review.
ML for Threat DetectionGrowing
Ensemble models and heuristic scoring for URL threat classification. Applied in ThreatByte's ML detection layer.
Agentic AI PipelinesGrowing
Building autonomous AI agents that investigate, triage and verify threats — the core of Chrontinal's SIEM engine.
