I’m Aarsh Chaurasia, a cybersecurity practitioner with a love for learning, experimenting, and breaking down complex ideas into simple, shareable insights. Currently, I work as a Product Security Intern, where I focus on threat modeling, offensive testing, and secure design for real-world SaaS and cloud-native systems. It’s where I get to balance hands-on hacking with system-level thinking to build stronger defenses.

Beyond my internship, I founded Okynus Tech, a cybersecurity startup incubated under C3iHub (IIT Kanpur) and SSIP 2.0 (Government of Gujarat), where we’re working on advanced video encryption technology. Over the years, I’ve built and contributed to 10+ security projects, collaborated with teams across government, startups, and enterprises, and explored both red team and blue team perspectives.

I also rank in the Top 1% on TryHackMe, which has been an incredible playground for sharpening my offensive security skills. Outside of work, I care deeply about building secure systems, understanding how things break, and connecting with like-minded people who enjoy solving complex security challenges. Always happy to chat about security, startups, or new ideas worth exploring.
