Profile

Curious enough to break it. Disciplined enough to defend it.

Ashish Kumar
Security-focused computer science student, builder, and competitive problem solver.
Gorakhpur, India

I am most interested in the exact moment noisy technical data becomes a clear, defensible decision.

That is why my work crosses boundaries: low-level packet processing in C++, analysis workflows in Python, and full-stack interfaces that make the result useful to a human operator.

Away from the terminal, I captain a basketball team. Both disciplines reward the same things — awareness, preparation, and knowing when to act.

Building detection & forensic systems

SentinelX, MCPGuard, WinLogin Forensics, and hands-on blue-team research.

2024

First place — CES Capture The Flag

Team competition across web exploitation, reverse engineering, and cryptography.

2023

Blue-team practice became the focus

SOC analysis, threat hunting, malware analysis, network forensics, and incident response labs.

B.Tech

Computer Science & Engineering

Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology, Gorakhpur.

Capabilities

From packet to product.

I work across the stack because defensive systems are only as strong as the path between collection, logic, and action.

Detection & response

Finding signal in network, endpoint, and application telemetry — then turning it into repeatable detection logic.
