combinatorics / security research / systems

second year at BITS Pilani. i work in combinatorics and partition theory, do security research, and build full stack software.

my mathematics is on arXiv: the first proofs of parts of Conjecture 19 of Ballantine, Beck, Merca and Sagan, a new sequence in the OEIS (A395126), and a study of the Collatz map over the Gaussian integers. i also found a class of data leakage bugs in how Next.js serializes server data to the browser, written up for CAIS 2026, and built an operations platform used daily by an 80 member racing team.
