Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAditya Deshpande is a software engineer based in Cambridge with three years of hands-on experience building secure, high-performance systems at Arm after graduating MEng Electronic and Information Engineering from Imperial College London. He has rotated through kernel, cryptographic libraries, and ML inference teams, contributing to open-source projects like mbedtls where he implemented ECDH driver wrappers, refactored call hierarchies, and added tests to strengthen PSA Crypto integration. Comfortable across low-level systems and applied machine learning, he blends rigorous secure-coding practice with practical performance optimisation—most recently on Stable Diffusion tuning. A former maths and physics tutor, he brings clear technical communication and a knack for translating complex ideas into reliable, testable implementations.

Contributions summary:Aditya focused on enhancing the security and functionality of the mbedtls library, particularly within the context of the PSA Cryptography API. Their contributions involved implementing driver wrapper functions for raw key agreement, including ECDH, ensuring compatibility with transparent drivers and software fallbacks. They also refactored the call hierarchy for ECDH to integrate it with the driver wrapper and added tests to validate these key agreement features, demonstrating a solid understanding of cryptography and secure coding practices.
