Hi, my name is
Saurav Gupta.
I build things for security and systems.
I'm a Ph.D. scholar in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Guwahati, specializing in permissioned blockchain for Industrial IoT. I have a passion for developing secure, scalable systems and a strong background in network security, cryptography, and distributed systems.
About Me
Hello! I'm Saurav, a dedicated researcher and developer with a focus on blockchain technology and cybersecurity. My journey in computer science began at MAKAUT, Kolkata, and has led me to pursue a Ph.D. at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati.
My current research focuses on optimizing node placement and dynamic session selection in permissioned blockchains for Industrial IoT environments. I thrive on solving complex problems and have hands-on experience in designing, developing, and deploying robust software solutions. Recently, I contributed to a high-impact project for the Guwahati High Court, developing an AI system for legal document translation.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- Python & Go
- Blockchain & Solidity
- Docker & NginX
- Network Security
- Cryptography
- Machine Translation
