01 / About Me

Building at the
frontier of security & scale

Started with curiosity about the systems behind large-scale digital platforms — that curiosity evolved into a deep obsession with making things fundamentally secure and unbreakable.

From developing encryption workflows at IBM to publishing hybrid blockchain research at INCON-SDG 2026, I live at the intersection of cryptography, distributed systems, and full-stack engineering.

Co-founded YenShield — Yenepoya's cybersecurity club — because technical knowledge compounds fastest when it's shared openly.
