Yash Chaturvedi
Hello there! I’m Yash, a full-stack software engineer with over 2 years of work experience.
I graduated from Georgia Tech with an MS in CS specializing in Computing Systems. I discussed my MS application journey in an interview recently - do have a look! The Grad Post - How I Got Into Georgia Tech for MS in Computer Science
I am currently a research collaborator with Georgia Tech’s School of Cybersecurity and Privacy in the CSAFA lab under Dr. Sukarno Mertoguno. Before I joined Georgia Tech, I was a full-stack software engineer at Adobe India for two years, working primarily on the Adobe Sign product.
My current research is in improving the memory and type safety of C to Rust code conversion.
My other areas of interest include blockchain networks, cryptography and privacy. I enjoy working on technological solutions to improving user privacy - such as blockchain networks for low-power devices, digital identity authentication and safe user data migration upon account transfer.
My top skills are React, Spring Boot (Java) and JavaScript. You can read more about my projects, experience and skills in the CV section.
Since the third year of my undergrad, I have served as a Teaching Assistant in various courses. In Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, I was selected to serve as the Head Teaching Assistant of CS 3001: Computing, Society and Professionalism. You can read about my experience as a Teaching Assistant over the years in the Teaching section.
Outside of academics, I have invested my time in three major extra-curricular activities:
- Debating: I represented my school and university at close to 100 debate tournaments. The activity transformed my general knowledge, communication skills and self-confidence.
- Journalism: I have been a reporter, writer and editor for my undergrad and grad university’s newspaper, as well as for Sportskeeda, a global sports platform. Journalism has helped me sharpen my written communication, ask better questions and understand the challenges faced by news media today.
- Writing: I have honed my creative writing from the time I was in primary school. Writing has helped me with self-expression, pushing the bounds of my imagination and stress relief.
I also enjoy cooking, photography, cricket and 8-ball pool. Let’s talk!
