About Sanjana R

I\'m a final year Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at VIT, Vellore, with strong interests in artificial intelligence, machine learning and cryptography. I interned as a research intern at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore — India’s #1 ranked research institution — where I worked on next-generation cryptographic protocols including asymmetric encryption, lattice-based cryptography, and multi-party computation like AVP. I applied tools like OpenSSL and Boost Interprocess, integrating OS and AI concepts to implement and benchmark protocol variants — demonstrating how my AI knowledge extends into secure systems and automation.My technical strengths lie in SQL, Java, and Python, with a growing edge in applied cryptography and automation. During my time at IISc, I contributed to practical research that bridged cryptographic theory with real-world secure computation, focusing on quantum-resistant schemes like lattice-based cryptography. Beyond my project work, I remained actively engaged with developments in the field — including following breakthroughs like the recent RSA attack — driven by a genuine interest in the future of secure communication.I\'ve consistently excelled in competitive environments—securing 1st place in the Physics Make-a-thon hosted by the SAS department, and 2nd place in Clash of Bugs 2.0, a coding and debugging competition during graVITas, VIT’s premier technical fest. These achievements reflect my analytical mindset and ability to think on my feet.In parallel, I held a senior core position at the Apple Developers Group (ADG) VIT, where I led large-scale events, mentored junior members, and managed end-to-end operations for engagements that saw 200+ attendees. My leadership style is execution-driven, organized, and responsive—qualities that helped elevate team performance and event impact.Currently, I\'m working on a generative AI project aimed at supporting individuals with vision impairments and am set to begin research on deepfake detection. I thrive on solving real-world challenges with scalable, ethical technology, and I\'m always eager to collaborate on impactful projects. A fast learner by nature, I actively seek opportunities that push my technical and professional boundaries.
