Working on various projects in Security and Privacy, ranging from Machine Learning, to BlockChain to Self-Sovereign Identities.

Focusing on Security, and Cryptographic applications, specifically E-ID. I also working on researching the standards and system architectures for such a system. This includes decentralization, and massive scale deployment. (Think replacing IDs and passports).

I also gained exposure to the research environment, working with researchers, reading papers, and build applications, and prototypes based on them.

Personal Growth: Climate Tech & Climate efforts - Incorporating sustainability into my workflow

This program investigated many domains with a lens focusing on the climate aspects. The most interesting fields for me were the energy, transportation, and agriculture sectors. The program included huge research materials that I'm still going through today. To follow up after this program: I'm working with the ClimateRoboticsNetworks non profit I started a working group on Sustainable IT in my research institution (sponsored by the Research Software Engineering community @ EPFL)

Leading a technical team of 4 people to build a machine leading dashboard with Jupyter lab-based notebooks feature in the browser. We also built an LLM-based ChatBot specialized in Fairness in ML. The team had limited resources, so I contributed a lot to

• backend (django)

• frontend (Vue)

• completely restarted DevOps (Azure managed K8s & PAAS).
