About Me

Researcher. Engineer. Innovator.

I'm a PhD candidate in Computer Science at IIT Kanpur, where I explore the frontiers of Hardware Security, Secure Computation, and Quantum Computing. My academic journey started at IIIT Gwalior where I earned an Integrated B.Tech+M.Tech with a CGPA of 8.5.

Beyond research, I've contributed to industry as a backend developer and have taught at the university level — bridging the gap between theory and practice. I'm driven by a curiosity to understand how systems work, and how to make them work better and more securely.

My work spans machine learning, IoT security, network intrusion detection, and advanced cryptographic protocols — always with an eye towards real-world applicability.
