I’m a software engineer and GRA at Virginia Tech’s Security & Intelligence Lab, advised by Dr. Peng Gao, researching on agentic systems and agentic security. Before grad school, I spent two years at Shell building production backend and data platforms, and I interned at the Indian Space Research Organization, where I built real-time telemetry software for Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue Operation. I’ve also worked as a Research fellow at IIT Delhi. ”
