Designed and implemented text preprocessing pipelines and NLP-based feature extraction (e.g., keyword filtering, named entity recognition, semantic clustering) to extract meaningful information from large-scale unstructured text. Built the back-end for an AI web crawler PoC, focusing on iterative development, validation, and robust data handling. Implemented topic discovery and classification logic, and applied cryptographic techniques to improve security and integrity of data, including basic use of number theory, hashing, and authentication to evaluate cryptographic methods. Also designed secure protocols for LAN/WAN contexts and analyzed vulnerabilities to propose countermeasures. Emphasized low-power design and intuitive user experience.
