Summary
I am a second-year Computer Science student at KIIT University with strong foundations in data structures, automata theory, and core programming. I have independently practiced core concepts beyond coursework, and since my university does not officially offer quantum computing, I pursued online courses to build expertise in its principles and applications. Drawn to the unorthodox nature of quantum computing, I am committed to deepening my knowledge of quantum computing and exploring its applications in solving real-world problems.

Work History
Independent Quantum Computing Practice
06.2025 - Current
- Using Qiskit to implement basic quantum circuits.
- Actively working toward simulating quantum algorithms, including Quantum Phase Estimation and Grover’s search.
Theory of Computation (Academic Experience)
07.2025 - 11.2025
- Learned and applied finite automata (NFA, DFA) to solve problems. Further, connected the concepts by understanding regular expressions and conversions between NFA, DFA, and regular expressions.
- Explored the importance of the Pumping Lemma theorem, along with practical applications of Pushdown Automata and Turing Machines.
C Programming and Data Structures
10.2024 - 11.2025
These experiences are not directly research-based, but they helped anchor my conceptual understanding of the programming.
- Took initiative to learn and practice the basics of C language in the first semester, before it was formally introduced in coursework.
- Studied and implemented basic data structures prior to the Data Structures Lab in the third semester, which helped complete assignments and tests with ease.
- Expanded programming foundations by learning basic Java.
