I build, secure, and support the systems that companies rely on. Based in Melbourne - working at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and hands-on engineering. Deakin graduate, Docker speaker, lifelong learner.
I began my Bachelor of IT at Deakin as a girl from India who barely knew technology. Four years later, I was running VMs, investigating cybersecurity incidents, presenting Docker at the Microsoft office, and graduating with multiple HDs - including 97 in my final year.
I'm not here for the marks. I'm here for the growth - that quiet, compounding kind that shows up in how I troubleshoot an outage at 11pm, how I walk into an AWS architecture challenge and present first, how I translate complex tech into simple language for people who are just getting started.
Today I work as a Junior Technical Engineer at Orikan, holding down internal infrastructure, tickets, and the sort of problems that don't announce themselves politely. On the side - community meetups, AWS Cloud Club at UniMelb, SABSA AI architecture forums, and any pizza-adjacent threat hunting workshop I can find.
I care about doing the basics really well. I care about the people on the other side of the ticket. And I'm building toward a career in cloud security that matters.
Orikan · Melbourne
Supporting internal technical infrastructure and engineering operations. Building on my cybersecurity and networking foundation with real-world systems work - tickets, troubleshooting, and the sort of problem-solving that only shows up on the job.

Leading shifts, coordinating teams, and running operations end-to-end through peak hours. Real operational management - people, time, and accountability - that grounds everything I do now.
A consumer-facing API and companion app that scans food products, detects allergens, and helps families make safer food choices. Presented solo at Deakin's InnoFes 2025 to industry professionals and academics, with strong feedback on the real-world impact.
Surprise live architecture challenge at the AWS Cloud to Career event at the University of Melbourne. Presented our banking-use-case solution first to the room - clear feedback on both the technical design and communication.
Hands-on detection-and-response exercises at Hck4G CON 2025 at RMIT - building detection logic and incident logging across Splunk and Elastic, with a strong focus on detection engineering and threat hunting practices.
Certified analysis work breaking down SQL injection attack patterns - understanding how they're crafted, detected, and mitigated. Part of a broader foundation in encryption, information security analysis, and applied offensive thinking.
Through my Deakin degree: running virtual machines, building full-stack applications, managing project lifecycles, and delivering technical reports. Multiple HDs including 97 in final year - translation: the fundamentals are solid.
Certification stack across networking fundamentals, cybersecurity principles, and security analysis - the kind of baseline that makes everything else I build defensible from day one.
Melbourne Docker User Group · Microsoft Office, Melbourne
Opening talk focused on the basics - because too many people (students and professionals) jump into advanced container topics without a real grasp of what Docker actually is. Feedback confirmed the gap, and the session bridged it.
Orikan · Melbourne
Hosted by CEO Peter Neale. Shared my journey from international student to technical engineer, alongside an incredible panel of women in tech. Grateful to have moved from the audience to the stage.
AWS Cloud Club · University of Melbourne
Panel insights, a live banking-use-case architecture challenge, and presenting our solution first to the room. A reminder that the best learning happens when you raise your hand before you feel ready.
Amazon (AWS) · Melbourne Office
Deep sessions on the future of SRE with AI, containerised ELT pipelines, and autonomous AI agents moving beyond software into physical systems. Questions, curiosity, and conversations about cost-aware local-first design.
Collins Square · Melbourne
A morning of learning about enterprise security architecture in the age of AI - security thinking that actually scales, and conversations with the community driving it forward.
RMIT · Melbourne
Hands-on Splunk & Elastic workshop, detection engineering, and a powerful mission: job-ready cyber skills for underserved communities. Pizza and threat hunting - ideal combination.
Open to IT engineering, cloud, and cybersecurity roles in Melbourne. Also happy to chat community, mentorship, and the honest question of how to break into tech from zero.
