About

M.Tech graduate in Computer Science & Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar, passionate about Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, Full-Stack Development, and Network Security. I enjoy building practical, scalable AI systems — from data preprocessing and modeling to deployment and performance optimization. My recent research focused on ML-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) for IoT and network security, where I worked with models such as Naive Bayes, Random Forest, SVM, CNNs, and lightweight Transformer-based architectures on benchmark datasets including CICIDS2017, BoT-IoT, and TON_IoT, achieving strong detection performance for real-world attack scenarios. I’ve worked on several impactful projects: • Hybrid ML-based IDS for IoT — End-to-end anomaly detection framework for zero-day attack detection using ML/DL techniques • StockInsights — A Streamlit platform for financial news summarization, sentiment analysis using FinBERT, and RAG pipelines with FAISS + SQLite • Hate Speech Detection System — BERT + CNN + LSTM hybrid NLP model presented at NSCTSM 2023 with a real-time inference UI • SkillMate (MERN Stack) — A production-ready networking platform with JWT authentication, Redux, Socket.IO, secure APIs, and cloud deployment As a Teaching Assistant at IIT Bhubaneswar, I mentored 400+ students in DSA, Programming, and Network Security, strengthening both my technical foundations and communication skills. I also served as the Head Placement Coordinator (M.Tech CSE) at IIT Bhubaneswar, coordinating placement activities, collaborating with recruiters, and supporting students throughout recruitment processes. Highlights: • Top 1.5% in GATE CSE 2023 • 500+ coding problems solved • Research and development experience across AI × Security × Scalable Systems Open to opportunities in: • Machine Learning / AI Engineering • Data Science & NLP • Backend / Full-Stack Development • Research roles in AI, Security, and Intelligent Systems Always open to connecting with professionals, recruiters, researchers, and collaborators working on impactful technology and AI-driven innovation.
