Experience
Emerging Technologies Intern
Digital South Trust
Remote
Architecting government-facing permissioned blockchain infrastructure using Hyperledger Fabric to enable secure data management and digital governance. Integrating Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and applied cryptography into institutional deployments to ensure strict data privacy and regulatory compliance.
Backend & Applied Cryptography Intern
Lokachakra (UK-Based Technology Startup)
Remote
Designed a secure identity registration and KYC backend for 10K+ projected users in Rust, adhering to privacy-by-design and data minimization principles. Contributed to the architecture of a cryptographically secure digital wallet system with strong key ownership and fault-tolerant transaction handling.
Research Intern — Cryptography & Secure Systems
Post-Quantum Cryptography Research Initiative
Remote
Evaluated quantum threats against RSA/ECC and assessed NIST PQC finalist schemes (lattice, code-based, hash-based) from an implementation and performance perspective. Proposed hybrid encryption migration strategies and backwards-compatible security layers for transitioning production systems to post-quantum standards.

Key Projects
ZK Identifier — Decentralized Identity System
Open Source
Rust, Circom, Groth16, SnarkJS Privacy-preserving authentication engine with custom Circom arithmetic circuits (Groth16), a high-performance Rust backend for proof generation/verification, and zero data exposure on identity checks.
Real-Time Fraud Detection Engine
Open Source
FastAPI, Redpanda (Kafka), Redis, Docker, XGBoost, SHAP, Prometheus, Grafana 5+ TPS stream-processing pipeline via Redpanda/Redis with real-time XGBoost fraud scoring, SHAP-based explainability, Redis TTL velocity windows, and live Prometheus/Grafana observability.
TRIAD — AI-Driven Market Microstructure Trading System
Open Source
Rust, Python, ONNX, NATS JetStream, pgvector, Docker Engineered an event-driven algorithmic trading engine utilizing live Level-2 Binance data to calculate real-time microstructure signals (VPIN, order imbalance, spoofing) with sub-millisecond decision latency. Integrated an ONNX Random Forest inference model with HNSW episodic k-NN memory via pgvector, backed by NATS JetStream archiving and SHA-256 hash chains for strict auditability.
