  At ESPS Finserv, I stepped into a dynamic financial consulting environment where my focus was to make investment recommendations more structured, insightful and diversified. I designed an integrated product catalog, which allowed advisors to quickly compare and diversify client portfolios. Alongside this, I built algorithmic trading indicators in Python and Pine Script, reducing manual research time and delivering sharper trading signals. Perhaps the most exciting part was exploring statistical arbitrage models, where I automated long–short decisions on correlated securities, giving clients nearly a 20% boost in portfolio profitability. This internship gave me a front-row seat to how finance and technology combine to drive real results.

• Forensic Analyst Intern

  DeepCytes Cyberlabs (UK)

  Joining DeepCytes meant diving into the world of digital forensics and counter-surveillance. I helped develop a consolidated toolkit that automated parts of the investigation process, improving efficiency by more than a third. I also authored structured manuals and checklists that field teams could rely on during sensitive site evaluations, making complex security protocols practical and easy to follow. One of my proudest contributions was co-designing a hardware prototype that protected devices from juice-jacking attacks. Watching it evolve from research notes to a working, field-ready device showed me how hands-on innovation can strengthen digital security in real-world scenarios.

• Application Developer Intern

  K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering

  Jan 2023 – Mar 2023

  I worked on the Medical Information Collector app, designed to collect unused medicines and redistribute them to communities in need. I took charge of programming the app in Android Studio and collaborated on the user interface design in Figma. This experience taught me about using technology to directly improve lives.

  During my time at Somaiya, I worked on a project that combined technology with social impact — the Medical Information Collector app. The idea was simple yet powerful: collect unused medicines from households and redistribute them to communities in need. I took charge of programming the app in Android Studio, focusing on features that made logging and tracking medicines intuitive. I also collaborated on the user interface design in Figma, ensuring even first-time users could navigate the app easily. This experience taught me not just about app architecture, but also about using technology to directly improve lives.
