Pritika Bugga

I am a graduate student in computer science specializing in security with hands‑on experience building full‑stack applications and privacy‑focused machine learning solutions. I have delivered production-oriented features like a Patient Tracker app integrating FastAPI and GPT APIs, and implemented secure systems including AES-256 GCM encryption and Diffie‑Hellman key exchange.

My research work explored differential privacy techniques (Laplace, Gaussian noise, randomized response) and developing privacy‑preserving ML models while tuning privacy parameters to balance security and accuracy. I also interned in software development where I built appointment and geolocation features using Google Maps APIs to improve user workflows.

I bring strong academic performance, practical experience with cloud and DevOps tools (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), and a security certification (CompTIA Security+)—I seek to apply rigorous security practices and continuous learning to real‑world engineering problems.
