About

My Background

Hi, I'm Mrunal - a recent Computer Science and Information Technology & Web Science graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with a minor in Cognitive Science. That combination wasn't accidental - I've always been interested in understanding systems at multiple levels, not just getting them to run, but understanding why they work the way they do.

Over the past few years, I've built full-stack applications, contributed to an open-source research platform, and interned at the NYISO and Deloitte. I'm drawn to work that requires technical precision as well as the ability to clearly explain what was built and why it matters.

This fall, I'll be joining Deloitte as a Cyber Analyst. I'm especially interested in security work that balances hands-on technical depth with structure, accountability, and real-world impact. Outside of tech, I'm usually reading, sketching, or experimenting in the kitchen.
