The story behind the analyst

Cybersecurity & research

I’m an IT Analyst at Luvansh in New York, where I run internal IT audits against NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, manage identity and access for 350+ users, and test an AI chatbot for prompt injection and data leaks. I graduated with an M.S. in Cybersecurity from NYU in May 2026 (GPA 3.57), with 2+ years of hands-on experience across security engineering, security operations, and risk management, and I’m open to Security Analyst and GRC roles.

At SPAN Inspection Systems, I scaled vulnerability management with Nessus and OpenVAS, remediating 100+ findings and contributing to a 40% reduction in high-severity risk. At TechDefence Labs, I ran VA/PT engagements that closed 150+ application flaws and tuned SIEM correlation to cut false positives by 28%.

At NYU, I worked as a Security Research Assistant on governance, audit readiness, and adversarial ML research. At the Osiris Lab, I built LLM PackageGuard, a scanner that catches hallucinated packages in AI-generated code, led coordination of CSAW, the largest student-run security event, and competed in national CTFs with top-10 finishes.
