Intro
I'm Tushar Chopra, a Security Engineer and AI/ML Developer from New Delhi, India. I'm a B.Tech CSE student at the University of Delhi (CGPA: 8.286) with 7+ internships across TRAI, DRDO, NASA, IBM, and Infosys. I've been recognized by Apple, NCIIPC, and CERT.LV for responsible disclosure, and won ₹1,50,000 at Devbhoomi Cyber Hackathon 3.0. I build production-grade systems — from federated medical AI to real-time cybersecurity portals.

Associate Director at Deloitte | Public Sector | Ex-Capgemini
What impressed me about Tushar was his approach to technical problems. He has a habit of looking beyond the obvious, asking thoughtful questions, and taking the time to understand the reasoning behind a solution rather than just the implementation. For someone early in his career, Tushar demonstrates strong engineering fundamentals, a professional attitude, and a genuine commitment to continuous learning. He communicates well, adapts quickly, and approaches challenges with maturity. I have no doubt he'll be a valuable addition to any engineering team and I'd be happy to recommend him.
