Security Engineering · Data Analytics

Hi, I'm Nishank.
I build things I can explain in depth.

Security engineer and data analyst. I don't stop at "it works" — I measure everything until it tells me something I didn't expect, then write down the result that contradicts the obvious assumption.

01About

I spent three years as a product analyst in India — SQL, Python, dashboards, and forecasting — before moving to Germany. I'm now finishing an MSc in Cyber Security in Berlin, with a dissertation building an ML-based intrusion detection system on AWS.

That path put me on the bridge between data and security, which is exactly where I want to work. My recent 30-day challenge — ten projects across both tracks, each shipping a measured finding rather than just working code — is how I keep sharpening that combination.

What I care about: distrusting results that flatter the design, profiling before optimising, and being able to name exactly where a guarantee ends. I'm looking for a working-student or analyst role where I can work across data and security.
