What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying cryptographic research and quantum algorithm development, with opportunities to build secure systems, publish findings, and mentor/learn within collaborative teams.

I am a mathematics-focused researcher and developer skilled in quantum computing, cryptography, and Python-based implementations. I have implemented and benchmarked quantum algorithms (Shor, Grover) in Qiskit, developed RSA-OAEP and classic-cipher tooling, and linked theoretical number theory to practical cryptographic considerations.

My work combines rigorous mathematical foundations with reproducible software: I benchmarked quantum vs classical methods, evaluated PQC and QKD protocols, and deployed interactive Streamlit demos for education and demonstration. I seek roles where I can apply cryptographic research, quantum algorithm development, and secure software implementation to real-world systems.
