Selected work

  1. TorpedoX SIH '24 Winner

    An AI tool that identifies the cryptographic algorithm behind raw hex data. A five-layer classifier separates hashes from ciphertext, classical from modern, symmetric from asymmetric, block from stream — then names the exact algorithm (AES, DES, ChaCha20, RSA, Vigenère…) and its mode of operation.

  2. Small Open-Weight LLMs for Security Tasks Research

    A measurement study of how well small open-weight language models handle security work — knowledge, tool calling, and the cost of reducing refusals — with a five-agent LangGraph system and a local RAG knowledge base built from MITRE ATT&CK, CWE, CAPEC and OWASP.

Experience

2025 — Present

Research Intern

QClairvoyance Quantum Labs Pvt. Ltd. · Hyderabad

A Hyderabad deep-tech startup building quantum computing and AI software for data security, biotechnology and other deep-tech applications.

Apr — Oct 2025

Student Intern

AICTE Internship Programme · New Delhi

Hosted at NTRO

AICTE is India's national statutory body for technical education under the Ministry of Education.

  • Built machine-learning and deep-learning models for password identification and analysis.
  • Applied generative AI and GPT models to password analysis using contextual inputs.
  • Ran password-strength and cracking experiments with Hashcat to study real-world attack methods.
  • Studied the theoretical foundations of quantum computing — qubits, superposition and computation models.
  • Large-scale data preprocessing and exploratory analysis with Python and Pandas.

About

I'm an Information Technology undergraduate at Kongu Engineering College, interested in where security and machine learning meet — identifying ciphers with classifiers, scanning for ransomware, and testing what small language models can actually do for defenders. I also enjoy building clean, fast web apps.
