I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology, where I maintain a 3.945 GPA and have been awarded the Provost Master's Scholarship. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from MVJ College of Engineering. As a Graduate Research Assistant at Stevens, I co-authored a paper published at ACM SIGACCESS 2025 focused on assistive technology for blind users. For this project, I developed a voice-controlled smart-glasses app that uses real-time computer vision to help users complete forms, achieving strong accuracy and usability results. Previously, I worked at Reddit, where I designed and deployed Python bots for automating content moderation, significantly reducing manual efforts and improving harmful content detection. I also contributed as a Cybersecurity Engineer at Certes Networks by optimizing encryption algorithms and fixing critical vulnerabilities, and interned at Apple, where I refactored legacy code to modern Swift, cutting app load times by 30%. I have built several projects, including an ML-based stock trend forecasting model with 85% accuracy and an AI-powered chatbot that improved admission process efficiency. My technical skills include Python, Java, React, Docker, AWS, and machine learning frameworks, with a strong interest in AI, cybersecurity, and full-stack development.
