About
Undergraduate in Computer and Communication Engineering at MIT Manipal. I enjoy low-level coding and understanding how systems work at their core. My work lies at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
I used to play CTFs for Cryptonite

Projects
Standalone Rust-native post-training quantizer & inference engine for LLMs without external Python/CUDA dependencies. Converts SafeTensors/GGUF to zero-copy memory-mapped .pox format with Apple Silicon Metal compute shaders, second-order AWQ/GPTQ calibration, INT4/INT8 SIMD, and Ed25519 cryptographic verification.
Rust-native static malware detection and binary pattern-matching engine. High-throughput multi-pattern Aho-Corasick scanning, recursive Pratt AST rule parser, deep PE32/PE32+ & ELF inspection, x86/x64 instruction disassembly (iced-x86), and Shannon entropy analysis with structured evidence tracing.
High-performance asynchronous BitTorrent engine in Rust with a distributed stack: headless daemon, REST/WebSocket API layer, and CLI/Web dashboard controllers.
AI-powered memory forensics platform integrating Volatility 3 with local LLMs (Ollama) for automated triage, anomaly detection, and interactive dump analysis.
Cycle-accurate Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator in Rust with 6502 CPU emulation, PPU rendering, and SDL2 audiovisual output.
High-performance filesystem navigation engine in Rust for macOS & Linux. Provides instant directory jumping via fuzzy pattern matching, a frecency-based ranking algorithm, interactive selection, custom path aliases, and automated shell hooks.
Fast Rust TUI system monitor for macOS & Linux with live process insights, tree navigation, lock selection tracking, watchlists, signal dispatch, and configurable alerts.
Hybrid malware detection framework — Portable Executable (PE) static analysis combined with gradient boosting ML (98.89% accuracy).

Open Source Contributions
Major contributor to Cryptonite's comprehensive forensics training repository covering steganography, network analysis, and digital forensics.
Implemented a comprehensive localStorage favorites/bookmarking system for saving content across the Campus Directory.
Fixed out-of-bounds array access vulnerability in message.rs. Added proper bounds checking for unknown_uuid_index, preventing crash risk on corrupted DSC files.
Fixed bug in capa's PE feature extraction where module names for extensionless DLL imports (e.g. ntdll) were stripped by rpartition(), causing qualified import rule matching to silently fail. Added regression test suite.
Built a Python library for IMO Bench providing a clean API with type-safe dataclasses, filtering, and 35 passing tests.
Contributed core Clang AST processing improvements, unified symbol resolution, and macOS test invocation fixes to the C++ interoperability engine used at CERN:
