About Me

I am a final year Computer Science undergraduate with a Data Science minor. Currently, I am working at Google as a Software Engineer Intern. I have previously worked at the Data, Systems, and High-Performance Computing Lab under Dr. Arnab K. Paul, focusing on upgradable smart contracts. I have also worked under the guidance of Dr. Hemant Rathore to explore how membership inference attacks can enhance adversarial attacks in machine learning.

I’m a core member of AlgoManiaX, my university’s competitive programming club, and have actively volunteered with Nirmaan to help underprivileged students prepare for scholarship exams. I’m also a fan of rock music, particularly Radiohead, and I love the Dune books by Frank Herbert.
