Hi, I'm Ishan.

I'm a high school student who spends a lot of time on CS, CyberPatriot, and random side projects. Most of what I work on is either related to security (locking things down, scripting checks) or to data (collecting, cleaning, and exploring it).

Outside of coding I like following sports, especially tennis, which is part of why I ended up building a whole project around ATP rankings.

Through CyberAegis and the CyberPatriot competition, I've spent a lot of time hardening Windows systems and services. A big part of the competition for me is learning how to both fix damage that's already been done and prevent future problems from happening in the first place.

Over the last few seasons I've worked across many different parts of Windows security, always thinking in terms of threat remediation and prevention. That mindset has helped my teams do well:

• 100% uptime on an Active Directory domain controller at nationals.
• 1st place on the CyberPatriot Windows Semifinals (middle school division).
• 2nd place at the CyberPatriot National Finals (middle school division), out of 700+ teams.

More recently, I've also started putting together content to help middle school students get into cybersecurity and understand the basics of Windows hardening.
