Pranjal Kumar
Backend Engineer, security-focused · Delhi, India
2nd year CSE student at Manav Rachna University. I build backend systems and then find the holes in them. Currently a Project Intern at MR Impact, building the ICCF certification portal for Manav Rachna's Institution's Innovation Council.
Selected work
- ECDAT — Takes a cryptographic inventory and ranks each asset 0 to 100 for post-quantum migration urgency, naming the NIST replacement. Every score can be opened up and inspected.
- VulnScanner CLI — Python CLI that runs a port scan, banner grabs, security-header checks, CVE lookups, tech detection and TLS checks in one pass.
- Cosmo — Windows voice assistant on LiveKit Agents and Google's realtime voice model. Its tools open apps, move the mouse, type, search the web and check the weather.
- Sahayata — Hackathon prototype that flags possible early signs of dyslexia, ADHD and anxiety in students, so a teacher or parent knows to seek a proper assessment. Not a clinical tool.
