Activities

Started my MSCS at ASU with a focus on agentic AI systems, machine learning, quantum computing, and systems-level engineering in C++. I’m turning advanced coursework into portfolio-grade projects at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI — where learning becomes leverage.

I completed MIT xPRO’s Quantum Algorithms for Cybersecurity, applying quantum techniques to security, optimization, and real‑world problem framing.

I completed the MIT xPRO Quantum Computing Fundamentals Program, building a solid base across quantum concepts, tools, and practical applications.

I completed MIT xPRO’s Introduction to Quantum Computing, strengthening my fundamentals in qubits, gates, measurement, and quantum intuition.

I earned the ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certification, sharpening my ISMS audit mindset across controls, risk, compliance, and evidence‑based reporting.

I showcased work and ideas at HPE Parasparam 2024, engaging with cross‑team innovation and celebrating diverse thinking through impactful problem‑solving.

I received the Youth For Seva Mitra Award for 50+ hours of community volunteering, reflecting consistent commitment and service‑driven leadership.

After my internship, I joined Hewlett Packard Enterprise full‑time as a Technical Solutions Consultant in Cybersecurity, moving from learning mode to owning real outcomes.

I successfully completed a 6‑month cybersecurity internship at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, contributing to security engineering work and strengthening hands‑on delivery skills.

I won an Independence Day 2024 quiz at HPE, blending curiosity and teamwork into a fun, high‑energy win.

I was recognized as the Best New Joinee at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a proud early signal of impact and execution.

I celebrated Intern Day 2024 at HPE, reflecting on team collaboration, learning moments, and the sprint of shipping meaningful work.

I participated in an HPE CSR outreach for a government school—supporting students with stationery/snacks and creating an energizing learning experience.

I joined HPE Pride celebrations, supporting inclusion and allyship while appreciating the power of community in the workplace.

I took part in HPE’s Team Member Appreciation Day - TMAD event, recognizing the people and culture that make high‑performing teams possible.

I completed Google’s Project Management Foundations, building structured thinking around planning, stakeholders, and execution discipline.

Completed Wharton Online’s 4‑course ‘Achieving Personal and Professional Success’ specialization, covering: Success, Improving Communication Skills, Influence, and Negotiations — sharpening my goal-setting, communication, and influence toolkit for high-impact work. sharpening leadership habits, resilience, and goal execution.

Served as a national‑level leader for U&I’s crowdfunding campaign, coordinating and executing on‑ground fundraising across Bengaluru — from city activations to awareness drives — helping raise ₹1.76 Cr (≈$212K USD) to support underprivileged children’s education. driving outreach and execution that contributed to a record ₹1.76 crore raised for education programs.

I started my cybersecurity internship at Hewlett Packard Enterprise in February 2024, stepping into hands‑on security work and rapid learning.

I volunteered at Youth For Seva’s Chiguru 2024 fest, supporting students through creative activities, coordination, and a joyful learning environment.

Volunteered 40+ hours with U&I Trust, training underprivileged children in Spoken English — focusing on vocabulary, confidence, and real-world communication through structured practice. improving students’ confidence and communication through consistent mentoring.

Worked on Cybersecurity + AI during my internship (Sattva Human @ HPE), with a hands‑on focus on LLM security — including prompt‑injection testing against GPT‑4 to validate guardrails, identify bypass patterns, and document mitigations. gaining early exposure to real security problems and the rhythm of industry delivery.

Taught STEM and mental‑ability fundamentals to government‑school students preparing for the National Merit‑cum‑Means Scholarship (NMMS) exam. I broke down problem‑solving into simple, repeatable strategies (speed math, reasoning patterns, and exam tactics), and focused on building confidence in students who had limited access to resources — turning “I can’t” into “watch me.” helping students from underserved backgrounds build critical thinking and exam readiness.

I presented the research paper ‘Mental Health in the Digital Era: NLP Models for Depression and Suicidal Tendency Detection’ at the Fifth International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet’23).

Delivered a lightning talk at the Fifth International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet 2023), exploring why classical public‑key cryptography (like RSA) struggles against quantum capabilities, and how to quantum‑proof private data using NIST-aligned Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration thinking.

Received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research in Technology and Management (IEEE MRTM), Bengaluru, for “PyEdit Pro” — an advanced Python text editor focused on usability and engineering depth.

Earned the AWS Educate Introduction to Cloud 101 credential, strengthening my cloud fundamentals across core services, deployment basics, and security-aware cloud principles.

Completed the Linux Foundation LFD103 certification track, diving into kernel internals, low-level systems concepts, and disciplined engineering workflows. gaining deeper exposure to low‑level systems and kernel internals.

Visited CERN in Geneva and experienced the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) up close — a memorable school trip that deepened my curiosity for advanced computing, big science, and physics at scale.

I attended a 3‑day robotics workshop at NASA’s Kennedy Space in Florida USA. An early spark for engineering, exploration, and big‑dream curiosity.
