Teaching

Research-led teaching

Teaching is treated as research: build the simplest system that makes a hard idea clear, then let students break it and rebuild it.

2024 — present

Lecturer, National Forensic Sciences University

Incident Response and Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) — applied cybersecurity practice with system-level analysis and research-informed instruction.

2017 — 2026

Research Scholar & Teaching Assistant, NIT Goa

Doctoral research in FPGA-based AI acceleration. Mentored students and guided laboratory work; 6 postgraduate theses supervised across AI and hardware-accelerated architectures.

2024

Visiting Faculty, Goa Polytechnic College

Laboratory instruction in Basic Electronics — circuit fundamentals, measurement techniques and applied engineering.

About

Systems that scale intellectually

I design architectures that scale intellectually as well as technically — systems that teach, explain and endure.

Engineer with an Electrical & Electronics background; PhD research (thesis submitted) at NIT Goa on VLSI and reconfigurable computing for GAN acceleration on FPGA-based edge devices. I teach cybersecurity at NFSU, build open-source tools, and write about AI, hardware and knowledge systems.
