About Me

Hi, I'm Sushen Kumar — a cybersecurity researcher, security automation engineer, and AI specialist based in Bangalore. I design and build offensive security tooling, automated threat detection workflows, and AI-powered applications that solve real-world security problems. I'm a fresher completing my B.Tech in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) from Lovely Professional University (graduating August 2026), actively seeking my first professional role in cybersecurity — SOC analysis, penetration testing, or security engineering. Open to remote work and relocation anywhere in India.
