About me
I’m a network engineer based in Gurgaon, India, with a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology (DCRUST), Murthal. Most recently I worked as a Junior Network Analyst at GuestTek Interactive Entertainment, building and operating the network infrastructure behind multi-property hospitality deployments for operators such as Marriott and Hilton.
Research interests
My interests lie in network security and privacy, networking architecture and protocol design, and applied cryptography, particularly how cryptographic and access-control mechanisms behave once they are deployed in working networks.
Operations work has given me a practitioner’s view of these questions. At GuestTek I segmented guest, staff and management traffic with VLANs, wrote access control lists that restricted inter-VLAN reachability and management-plane access, prioritised voice traffic with QoS on shared uplinks, and diagnosed connectivity faults on live properties using packet capture, interface counters and device logs. I also built internal monitoring over the Cisco Meraki and Aruba Central APIs, placing both vendors behind a single interface that reconciled their differing data models, authentication schemes and error behaviour.
During my undergraduate studies I took electives in Network Security & Cryptography, Information Security & Data Hiding, and blockchain technology. My team was runner-up among 40 teams at the national-level Smart India Hackathon 2023, working on the problem statement Blockchain-Based Academic Certificate Validation.
