About Me

Hello! I'm Durjoy, a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast with expertise in protecting digital infrastructures and identifying security vulnerabilities.

My interest in cybersecurity began from watching hackers in movies 😏 and the real journey began during my 2-1 semester of BTech. Thanks to the people who are helping me in the journey.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a mission to fortify digital landscapes, I approach cybersecurity as more than a technical discipline - it's a continuous journey of anticipating, understanding, and neutralizing emerging threats. My passion lies not just in mastering tools and techniques, but in cultivating a proactive, adaptive mindset. I believe cybersecurity is not about tools its more about mindset. I want to understand whats happening under the hood. Whether researching quantum-safe cryptography, exploring AI's security implications, or mentoring future cybersecurity professionals, I'm committed to staying ahead of technological risks and transforming potential vulnerabilities into opportunities for innovation and resilience.

Currently, I'm a Research Associate intern at SRG Lab, KLEF, working on LLMs and keeping their data safe.

I am actively looking for any opportunity in the field of cybersecurity.

Beyond Copy–Pasting—Contextualizing LLMs for Secure Code Generation

This study evaluates security vulnerabilities in code generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) and co-pilots, emphasizing the need for strategic contextualization in Secure Coding Practices (SCPs). Through qualitative analysis, it assesses risks and proposes actionable strategies to help developers fine-tune LLMs for secure code generation. By integrating proactive security measures, this research aligns accelerated development with robust security practices.
