Sure! Here's the rephrased version with the USENIX mention removed:
I am an incoming PhD student in the Computer Science department at North Carolina State University, with a focus on security. I am currently completing my Master’s in Computer Science at NC State and expect to graduate in May 2025.
My interests lie in software security, software engineering, and programming languages, and I’m excited to explore these areas further as I progress in my career.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Pune Institute of Computer Technology, graduating with distinction. My academic path has been shaped by a strong curiosity about computers and software engineering, driving me to continually learn and stay updated with the latest developments in the field.
At present, I am working on a software supply chain security project in the Wolfpack Security and Privacy Lab at NC State, where we tackle critical challenges in software security. I also bring two years of professional experience as a software developer and one year of academic research experience.
With the goal of becoming a research scientist specializing in security, I am actively looking for internship opportunities that align with my interests and provide hands-on experience solving real-world security problems.
