I’m the Co-founder & CTO of PQStation, an NTU spinoff building tools that help organizations migrate to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). I’m also a researcher at Nanyang Technological University, where I work with Anupam Chattopadhyay on applied cryptography — designing and deploying post-quantum protocols that fit real network infrastructure such as TLS and QKD, including a migration project with OCBC Bank.
Previously, I was a Research Assistant at Ashoka University and India’s DRDO, building a post-quantum key-management system with from-scratch X.509 PQC certificates and a custom ML-DSA (Dilithium) implementation. My undergraduate thesis, advised by Mahavir Jhawar, designed a lightweight anonymous-credential protocol for privately proving organizational membership over TLS and SMTP. Earlier, I engineered voice assistants at Amuse Labs and document automation at the YC-backed startup SALT, and co-founded Beyond Design Studio and Jaan Pehchan.
