Whoami ?
Hey there, I’m a Security Engineer from India currently working at a FinTech startup. I spent years on the offensive side—previously at Payatu, where I co-led the Red Team Tower and worked alongside some incredibly sharp cybersecurity engineers. These days, I channel that breaking-things mindset into building things that don’t break easily: designing secure infrastructure, automating detection pipelines, and hunting for weak points before attackers do. Whether I’m hardening cloud environments, shipping security tooling, or burning through Boot2Root machines in my homelab, I’m driven by the same challenge—turning complex security problems into clean, practical defenses. 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.
