WORK

Gloabal Technical Solutions Intern - Cybersecurity
Belden Inc.

At Belden, I developed a comprehensive framework to map the company’s cybersecurity capabilities and products to industry standards including NIST, 800-53, ISO, NERC CIP, and IEC. This tool supported internal and partner-led compliance assessments by aligning product features with regulatory requirements. I led the first-ever grading session with Product Managers and Security Engineers to identify compliance gaps and prioritize remediation efforts. In addition, I authored detailed documentation on assessment findings and remediation plans, and created cybersecurity training and sales enablement content that helped cross-functional teams effectively communicate security value to customers.

JUNE 2024 - DECEMBER 2024

Research Intern - Network Security
Armament Research & Development Establishment (DRDO)

During my time at Armament Research and Development Establishment, I developed a LAN security framework using SDN and virtualization, reduced endpoint vulnerabilities by 48% through infrastructure hardening, and strengthened email security with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. I enhanced threat intelligence by leveraging AbuseIPDB to monitor and blacklist malicious IPs, contributing to a 60% drop in inbound threat activity. I also supported a ZTNA setup using Zscaler (ZIA, ZPA) to improve access policy enforcement for 50+ users and maintained thorough documentation of incidents and changes via ServiceNow and Confluence.
