Career
Cybersecurity
Prince is an Offensive Security Engineer based in Kochi, Kerala. His professional focus includes penetration testing, cloud security, and security automation. In 2025, he performed vulnerability research and reported security issues to Google as a volunteer researcher. Later that year, operating under the moniker Rhyugen, he won the Google Cloud Security Community's SecOps MCP (Model Context Protocol) Challenge, which focused on using AI models to automate and transform security operations workflows.[1]
He is widely credited with the discovery of CVE-2025-56513, a critical-severity vulnerability in NiceHash QuickMiner (v6.12.0). The vulnerability involved an unencrypted update mechanism that allowed for Remote code execution (RCE) via traffic interception, presenting a severe supply chain risk. The discovery was highlighted by the SANS Institute in their global threat intelligence bulletin, noting its critical CVSS score of 9.8.[2] He is an EC-Council Certified SOC Analyst and maintains a research presence on Open Bug Bounty.[3]
Theoretical Physics
In 2025, Prince authored a theoretical research paper titled "The Dual Face of Gravity: Reconciling Observational Stability with Quantum-Scale Chaos." The paper, published via the SSRN repository, explores the application of the Central Limit Theorem to Quantum gravity, suggesting that macroscopic gravitational stability is an emergent phenomenon.[4]
Literary works
Under the pen name Rumi, Prince authored the 2026 book Red Moon. The narrative is set during the 2018 Kerala floods in the village of Kuttanad. The work is dedicated to the "Blue Army"—the local fishermen who led rescue efforts—and explores themes of resilience and motherhood during the disaster.[5]
