Internship Experience

Real-world experience across law enforcement digital crime investigations and technical cybersecurity research.

Cyber Crime Intern

06/2025 – 07/2025
Puducherry Cyber Crime Police Station
  • Registered and documented cybercrime complaints systematically, ensuring accurate case intake, evidence chain of custody, and record-keeping.
  • Supported official investigation into a social media-based hardware scam case involving fraudulent advertisements targeting local shop owners for financial fraud.
  • Gained practical knowledge of the end-to-end cybercrime case lifecycle from complaint registration and digital footprint analysis to investigation and resolution.

Cybersecurity Intern

12/2025 – 01/2026
Elevate Labs
  • Gained hands-on experience with industry-standard security tools including OpenVAS, Wireshark, and Nmap for network vulnerability scanning and packet traffic analysis.
  • Built a Password Strength Checker tool in Python to evaluate password security and entropy based on complexity, dictionary attacks, and NIST best practices.
  • Developed a Web Vulnerability Finder tool to audit and identify common security flaws and OWASP weaknesses in target web applications.

Featured Projects

Real security platforms, monitoring frameworks, and automated scanning utilities designed and built from scratch.

Flagship SOC Platform

SHALXNETGUARD

Cybersecurity SOC & Network Monitoring Platform

A full-stack Security Operations Center (SOC) platform developed for comprehensive network monitoring, security alert analysis, and host health telemetry. Incorporates network discovery, dynamic topology visualization, and real-time Suricata/EVE alert integration to enable proactive network defense and incident response.

  • Suricata / EVE-JSON security alert processing and live intrusion detection telemetry.
  • Network discovery scanner & interactive node topology map for subnet visualization.
  • FastAPI asynchronous backend with React & TypeScript dashboard deployed live on Render.
