Work Experience

Cybersecurity Intern at CodeAlpha
August 1, 2026 - September 1, 2026
Delivered three backend-driven cybersecurity tools through a virtual internship. Built a secure code review platform integrating SAST and SCA scanning behind a REST API, mapped findings to CWE/OWASP categories, and implemented an audited review workflow. Also created a Flask-based network intrusion detection system with a live monitoring dashboard, focusing on practical backend integration and async processing patterns.
Digital IC Design & Verification at Micro Electronics Research Lab (PSEB-sponsored)
June 1, 2026 - September 1, 2026
Designed and verified synthesizable RTL modules in Verilog targeting Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA, including UART controller and a 4-way set-associative cache controller. Implemented AMBA AHB-Lite bus protocol and debugged functional simulation issues, including a bus-deadlock scenario with documented root-cause analysis. Built self-checking testbenches using directed and error-injection test cases with ModelSim/QuestaSim.
Software Engineering Job Simulation at JPMorgan Chase
December 1, 2025 - December 1, 2025
Integrated Kafka into a Spring Boot microservice to consume and deserialize high-volume transaction messages; implemented transaction validation and persistence with Spring Data JPA and an H2 SQL database, including entity modeling and balance updates. Connected the service to an external REST Incentive API and built a REST endpoint for querying user balances; ensured reliability with Maven tests and debugger-driven inspection.
