Digital engineer at the intersection of cybersecurity, systems thinking, and innovation. Currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Information Systems Security at Concordia University, Montreal, I bring hands-on experience from roles at TCS and PTC Software, where I worked as an IT Analyst and Product Technology Lead — Digital Success Engineer respectively. My technical toolkit spans SQL, Java, UNIX, networks, cybersecurity, BMC Remedy, ServiceNow, and Salesforce — built on a foundation of Electronics & Communication Engineering from Chitkara University Baddi. Beyond the technical, I'm a TEDx organizer, musician, and global soul who thrives on continuous learning, cross-functional collaboration, and turning complex problems into elegant solutions.

building a safer digital world, bridging the gap between technology and people, organizing experiences that spark ideas, continuous learning across disciplines, and celebrating cultural diversity through food, music, and travel.

Digital security is everyone's responsibility, not just IT's. In a world where our lives are lived online, cyber-awareness is the new literacy.

I came to TED the way most engineers do — drawn to the ideas, not the spotlight. But when I got to Concordia University, I found something more than great talks: I found a community of people who believed that how you communicate an idea matters just as much as the idea itself. That resonated deeply with me as someone who straddles the technical and the human side of technology. Joining TEDxConcordia as an organizer in 2025 let me channel my analytical mindset into something bigger — curating ideas worth spreading and building an event that could genuinely move people. It changed how I see my role as an engineer: not just to solve problems, but to make those solutions understandable and accessible to everyone.

Music and performing — most people meet the analytical engineer and never expect the performer. I'm also a sharper event organizer and communicator than my technical résumé lets on, having co-organized TEDxConcordia University from the ground up.
