  • During my internship at Qualcomm, I focused on strengthening the security of automotive software in compliance with ISO/SAE 21434. My key contributions included:
  • 1) Conducted Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) on QNX device drivers, identifying critical vulnerabilities and recommending mitigation strategies.
  • 2) Collaborated with module owners and security experts to implement enhanced access control mechanisms, balancing performance with security.
  • 3) Implemented and tested three file access controls, evaluating their integration feasibility for developers.
  • 4) Participated in a company-wide hackathon, where I developed the security and privacy module of an AI-based offline first-aid chatbot, ensuring safe local data handling and privacy-aware design.
  • This role sharpened my expertise in embedded security, access control strategies, and system-level threat modeling, while giving me hands-on experience in building secure solutions for real-world automotive systems.
