about

Let Me Introduce Myself.

Hello! I'm Abhishek M L, a Security Analyst at Pragya Cyber, based in Bangalore, India. I'm pursuing my B.E in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at BNM Institute of Technology (graduating June 2026, CGPA 8.08).

I work across both offensive and defensive security — from web application and API penetration testing to SOC operations and AI/LLM pentesting assessments. My work is grounded in structured methodology, clear documentation, and real-world impact.

As Co-Founder of HashVault, I lead cybersecurity initiatives and regularly speak at Security Conferences. I also publish blogs on Medium.
