Entry-level cybersecurity and backend developer focused on secure APIs, steganography, and practical aviation/defense systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an entry-level cybersecurity and backend developer who enjoys turning security concepts into working products. I’ve built tools and APIs that emphasize authentication, performance, and real-world data protection.
In my IBM Skillsbuild Remote Cybersecurity internship, I developed a Python-based GUI steganography tool that securely embedded up to 50KB of text in image files. I also collaborated on a 6-week cybersecurity project focused on secure transmission methods and practical cryptographic techniques.
During my AAI Intern role, I analyzed 5+ embedded and avionics systems used in aircraft communication and control. I proposed network design optimizations aimed at reducing internal communication delays by 15–20% based on observed system response times.
On the engineering side, I’ve built secure REST backends with JWT authentication, caching, and input validation, including a News Aggregator API and a Task Manager API with full CRUD and filtering. I’ve also created an AI-powered web interface using GPT-3 and React for responsive, component-based user experiences.
