Status: Open to Security Engineering Roles

Finding the bugs before the attackers do.

I'm Abilan Ravindran, a Cybersecurity Specialization student at Carleton University with two internships at Honeywell under my belt. This site doubles as a terminal so you should try typing a command.

Why I do this

I'm a Computer Science student at Carleton University specializing in cybersecurity, currently wrapping up my second internship at Honeywell. My work has spanned embedded application security (triaging SAST/SCA findings in Java and C codebases) and product-level cybersecurity for aerospace systems (threat modeling and security certification documentation).

I like the parts of security that require both depth and patience: root-causing a vulnerability, mapping out attack paths before they're exploited, and writing documentation clear enough that the next engineer can actually use it. I'm looking for a security engineering internship where I can keep building on that.
