About

I am a Graduate Research Assistant at Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI), where I work on projects based on wireless network security using Generative AI, Blockchain, and Fuzz Testing. I am passionate about applying computer science and mathematics to create innovative and secure web solutions that can handle complex data. I have almost three years of industrial experience as a Software Engineer at Telstra, where I contributed to developing a Software Engineering metrics app for performance review in an Agile environment, and building Telstra's innovation platform. I have also published a research paper on intelligent system application to power systems at IEEE ISAP 2019, and received a strong performer certificate from Google Online Marketing Challenge 2017. I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science at Virginia Tech. I am open to explore new opportunities to further enhance my skills and knowledge in web development and security. Feel free to reach out to me to dissect new ideas and opportunities at : sahilb@vt.edu
