Master’s of Information Technology

Deakin University, Australia

Gyst

This is where I leveled up from “I can code” to “I can build.” Between endless group projects and late-night debugging sessions, I learned how to translate ideas into real software — and how much coffee one human can safely consume.

Achievement

I became a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society, an exclusive recognition earned for academic excellence — proof that all those sleepless nights paid off.

Software Development

Major Project

For my master’s final-year project I researched and developed techniques for real-time audio watermarking — a lightweight system that embeds plain-text watermarks into WAV audio streams using Least Significant Bit (LSB) modification. The result is a set of Windows applications that can watermark audio on the fly, without pre-processing files or relying on special hardware. The design goal was broad compatibility: the system runs on any device with a Windows x86 OS and works with live audio playback rather than only with stored files.

Technically, the project required intercepting the audio stream being sent to the speakers, so I avoided hardware-dependent solutions (special soundcards, etc.) by using Microsoft’s low-level audio API to gain control over the OS audio mixing layer. That approach let me extract the raw audio buffers in real time, apply LSB embedding to hide text payloads inside the WAV samples, and then let the audio continue to play with minimal latency. The work sharpened my systems programming and signal-processing skills, and proved a practical, software-only way to perform covert watermarking on live audio — a useful technique for copyright marking, provenance tags, or secure metadata in streaming scenarios.

Bachelor's of Technology

Manav Rachna Internation University

Gyst

Four years of algorithms, operating systems, and the occasional existential crisis. This degree gave me the foundation for everything tech I do today — and probably 90% of my gray hairs.

Achievement

Honestly, none... Just getting done with a degree was enough for me at this time.

Major Project

For my bachelor’s final-year project, our team set out to design a cost-effective surveillance solution that could reliably detect movement inside a room and alert the user. Rather than relying on expensive, specialized equipment, we chose to build the system around a simple webcam, making the solution affordable and accessible for everyday use.

I developed a Windows application that implemented the “Two Frame Difference” algorithm, a lightweight computer vision technique that detects changes between consecutive video frames. This approach allowed the system to identify motion in real time and trigger alerts whenever unusual activity was observed. The end result was a functional, low-cost surveillance tool compatible with a wide range of Windows devices — a project that gave me hands-on experience with image processing, algorithm design, and practical problem-solving.

Schooling...
New Green Field Public School

Back in 10th grade, I was mostly just figuring things out — balancing studies, friends, and exams without any clear idea of what I’d eventually do. Looking back, it was less about mastering subjects and more about building the discipline that carried me forward into higher studies.

Secondary Education

Senior Secondary

Where it all started. I spent these years figuring out the basics — from math equations to writing essays that made sense. Also, my first taste of computers (and yes, those giant CRT monitors). That spark never left.
