My work lives where curiosity becomes a system: applied cryptography, security research, AI and the infrastructure underneath.
This small experiment uses your browser’s Web Crypto API. Change the message, encrypt it, then verify the round trip.

I / SELECTED WORK
Art in the thinking.
Engineering in the work.
Applied cryptography, distributed auditing and continual
malware learning. Built, tested, and documented with their limits.

Built & tested
Distributed password auditing
Many workers. One search space.
A coordinator-worker framework for authorised password audits, with custom GPU kernels, failover and live telemetry.

Learning new threats. Keeping old knowledge.
Reproducing distribution-aware replay for continual malware classification, with an emphasis on repeatable experiments.

A NOTE ON THE PROCESS
A result is useful.
Knowing its limits
is more useful.
[ OBSERVATION 001 ]
My experiments include the caveats. I distinguish an implemented system from a validated claim, a submitted paper from a publication, and a simulation from the real world.
II / STILL WATER, RESTLESS MIND
A little restless.
Always learning.

VIT CHENNAI / CLASS OF 2027
I’m Hanish, a final-year Computer Science student specialising in AI and Robotics at VIT Chennai.
Security drew me toward cryptography and systems. AI gave me another set of questions: how models remember, how they fail, and when a plan is actually useful. I like working across those boundaries.
That curiosity also turns into Linux distributions, Blender tools and hypercasual games. Away from the screen, it’s the electronic keyboard, sport, a growing Pokémon card collection, and a good case study.
