Cybersecurity Researcher & Developer
Building clean, lightweight, people-first digital experiences
Founder of Teen Squad · COO at Hacktura · From Kerala, India
I'm Sidharth S, known online as zidhuxd — a cybersecurity researcher, ethical hacker, Android developer, and web developer from Kerala, India. Recognized as the youngest cybersecurity researcher in Kerala, I serve as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Hacktura – Cyber X Kerala and founded Teen Squad, a youth-led technology community empowering teenagers through coding, cybersecurity, and social impact.
I build deliberate things — clean interfaces, lightweight tools, and systems that respect the people using them. Most of my work lives in the browser: my personal site is pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with PWA features, zero heavy frameworks.
