Whoami ?

Hey there, I’m a Security Consultant from India currently working at a cybersecurity startup. Previously, I was part of Payatu, where I co-led the Red Team Tower and had the opportunity to manage and collaborate with a team of highly skilled cybersecurity engineers. As part of my current role, I consult with companies on a range of infrastructure-related security assessments, helping them identify and mitigate critical risks. I’m deeply passionate about solving complex cybersecurity challenges—whether they come through real-world projects, CTFs, Boot2Root Machines, or personal Homelab projects.

As someone who is entrusted with the task of protecting organizations from cyber risks and vulnerabilities, I evaluate their products and infrastructure, pinpoint potential issues, and offer comprehensive remediation plans to minimize the risk of cyber-security incidents.

P.S: You can find my portfolio here. If it interests you to know why I go by the alias 0xpurecha0s you can, read this.
