Professional Experience & Internships
AI Fellow — Handshake AI
Jul 2026 – Present- Train and evaluate AI models to reduce false and misleading information, cross-checking responses against verified sources across platforms for accuracy.
- Optimise GPU usage for multithreaded, GPU-accelerated programs to improve model training performance and throughput.
Cyber Security Intern — Plasmid Innovation Pvt. Ltd. (with MSME DFO)
Mar 2025 – May 2025- Conducted structured vulnerability assessments and documented findings in formal risk registers aligned with digital resilience frameworks.
- Monitored threat-intelligence streams for indicators of compromise (IoCs) within defined SLAs; analysed network traffic with Nmap and Wireshark for root-cause analysis.
Content Writing Intern — Earth5R Foundation (NGO)
Jan 2024 – Mar 2024- Synthesised sustainability datasets into research briefs and executive-level policy documentation.
Content Writing Intern — Marpu Foundation (NGO)
Jan 2024 – Feb 2024- Drafted public-awareness documentation and institutional reports to rigorous editorial standards.
Technical Projects
Aegis — Personal Cyber Defense Platform
Oct 2026View repository (opens in a new tab) · Read the case study
- Built a production-grade platform (FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Docker) protecting individual users against phishing URLs, phishing/BEC email, malware attachments, weak/breached passwords and unsafe websites — ten explainable detection tools.
- Defence-in-depth: Argon2id authentication with lockout, AES-256-GCM encrypted vault, k-anonymity breach checks, rate limiting, strict security headers; automated tests, GitHub Actions CI, CodeQL and Dependabot passing.
Deceptive-Net — Academic Capstone Project
Jan 2026 – Jun 2026View repository (opens in a new tab) · Read the case study
- Engineered an AI-driven defensive system using Wasserstein GANs (WGAN-GP) to generate hyper-realistic honey-tokens and deceptive network artefacts that mislead attackers during reconnaissance; architected the end-to-end data pipeline, training methodology and evaluation metrics, aligned with NIST frameworks.
Secure Password Generator — Open-Source
Jun 2025 – Aug 2025View repository (opens in a new tab)
- Engineered a cryptographic credential utility implementing custom entropy-maximising algorithms to minimise predictable-pattern vulnerabilities; designed for secure SDLC integration with full documentation and complexity analysis.
